I met Bob Hill while I was working with Armstrong in 2005. He was one of the first people in the flooring industry to support my crazy ideas and we shared a passion for digital innovation. After leaving Armstrong and the flooring industry it was Bob Hill that reached out to me a few years after I left and asked me if I was interested in doing a special project for the NFA for a few weeks during the summer. I was excited about the opportunity to work with Bob and the NFA group again so I did. It´s not surprising that after that project I came back into the flooring industry and started my own digital technology company, Mobile Marketing. Bob Hill was one of my first customers. He supported and encouraged me to branch out on my own. Today, I´m a proud, women owned small business, with a team of 60 professionals in the flooring space, and it all would never have existed if it wasn´t for Bob Hill. He was always very supportive of women in business and their development as leaders. Bob Hill was my customer, my mentor and my friend. I will miss him dearly. My sincere thoughts and prayers to his family and FCA friends. I personally want to thank him and his wife Thea for all the great things they have done for me over the years in supporting me and the Mobile Marketing family.

Bob and I were roommates when we were bachelors living in San Francisco in 1960. I would like to think that I was an early link in Bob's career advance in the carpet industry by recommending him for his first carpet job with Murry B. Marsh Co., a wholesale distributor for Mohawk Carpet Mills.
My condolences to his family, I will forever miss him as a friend and fellow carpet bagger.

Bob and I went to hi school in Elk Grove,CA. We stay in contact off and on over the years. Had some great times together back in early 60s. My heart hurts when I lose old friends like him. R.I.P my friend. My prayers to his family.

One of the true gentlemen and visionaries in the flooring industry. I always felt wiser every time to spoke to Bob, whether it was about the flooring industry, current issues, books we were reading. You will be missed, but I am grateful for knowing you.
