I am so saddened to hear of Robs passing. We had many conversations on the Beechwood golf course. He was a hard worker and made many improvements to our course. RIP my friend. Prayers to all his family.

I will always remember Rob being so proud of his girls. He would always take them trick or treating at my house - even in the rain. He would take them to father daughter dances and would say he wouldn't let them marry until they were 30. He adored his girls, and he loved his career. It was so nice to have known him for over 40 years. Rest in piece Rob!!

Dear Ann and family,
We want to extend our condolences to you and the family for the loss of Bob. Losing a loved on is never easy, regardless of the circumstances. Whether it was at school supporting the kids at their various activities or at one of his golf courses, I remember Bob with a smile on his face as we talked. He took great pride in all of you. As you try to wade through these difficult times, may the love for each other, the wonderful memories you all share, and your faith in God give you strength and peace. "Tears are the price we must pay for loving someone."
Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.
