I had the pleasure of doing business with Bob dating back to his Atlanta Stove days and always looked forward to seeing Bob and finding out what was new. Bob always came in and caught me up on what was going on long after I turned the purchasing responsibilities over to my sons. My best wishes and prayers to Bob's family.

Without question one of the best salesmen to call on me at Modern Gas. A true gentleman who went from being a vendor to being a friend. I always felt that Bob put friendship first and business a distant second. What a blessing to have Jane for 52 years! Jane and family, my prayers and sympathy will be with you all.
