Uncle Bob always had the sweetest little smile and was always so kind. I remember him so fondly when I was little and he would could to our house to visit. He always reminded of my dad (Jim) they looked so much alike. I'm sure he's smiling down from heaven along with his wife, parents & brother. You'll be missed Uncle Bob!

As a teenager, I knew Bob when he worked at the Early Dawn Dairy . I knew his wife and daughter and his brother and his brother's son, Gunther, who I attended Waynesboro schools with. My heart goes out to his family.
God Bless you Bob.
