Robert Billington

I just heard the news about Bob and am sorry for the great loss to his boys and all Bob's crew and friends. This obit is very well written, it sums him up nicely. I'll never forget what all Bob did for me. He was a great friend. I always respected how Bob was always smiling. Even the day his dredge rolled over and dumped his machinery into the bay... Which is when this photo was taken. He was still smiling, quickly making a plan to fix the problem! Bob was one of the good guys, for sure!

RIP Bob I meet Bob back in the 90s dredging in the harbor like everyone else´s is say can´t replace a good guy always wanted to Lend a helping hand anyway he can I thank him for all he done for me well I was in the area going to miss talking to him till we meet again my friend can´t wait to talk again!! Thank you Ted McCoy

Sorry for your loss. Bob was a wonderful human being , and he will always have a special place in my heart. His friendship will never be forgotten.

Back in 1980 Bob and I went out to western Minnesota to pick up his first airplane.....a Cessna 180 that he was going to put on floats and learn to fly, which he did....if it was mechanical, Bob could drive it or fly it.....my heartfelt condolences to Susanne and the rest of the family.....P.S. Alice's curtains still hang in the front windows of the Rossport Inn.....Ned Basher

Rest in peace, boss man. You will be missed.
