I had the opportunity to work with Bob at Lifecare, taking care of maintenance projects. I can't say that I knew him well, but it was clear to me that he was a good man. He often talked about his wife and children. It was truly an honor to work with and get to know Bob. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Please know that he has had a positive influence on many people, and his memory will live on.
