I met Bob while working at Oneida Casino. He was full of stories about his life, hobbies, and family. Bob loved to talk about things he would find while going on adventures with metal detectors. He really seemed to love that hobby. I'm not usually one to be quick to trust, yet his smiles when I would listen to his stories made short work of that. Bob was a friendly man that was always a welcomed hello during shifts. Anyone who knew him will surely attest. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Soar high with the eagles old friend. God bless you on your new journey. Bart Haverkorn.
