I had the privilege of working with Bob for about fifteen years, but more than that, I was blessed to call him a dear friend. My respect for his unwavering commitment to Christ runs deep. Bob was more dependable than a clock-if it was time to work, he was there, ready and steady. His dry humor could make a long day lighter, and his honesty and good, core values shone through everything he did. Bob lived with quiet integrity, and the strength of his character left a lasting mark on all who knew him.
Steady as sunrise, faithful and true,
Your work and your life spoke clearly of You.
In Christ you have finished, your race now is run,
Well done, dear brother-well done.
Sincerely, Leon Martin

Bob was an amazing man and co-worker. Over the time I worked with him he was always fun to be around and full of knowledge. I will forever think of him when a bright light is shined in my face, as everytime he came to give me an update or I went to ask him a question he would turn to look at me with his extremely bright headlamp on. RIP Bob "Headlight", until we see each other again may your light always shine on all the people you touched while here with us. And remember if you don't know ohms law learn it.

You are missed! I always love our diagnostic conversations, wether it was matters of vehicles or our belief in God. I will never forget the day you committed and came down to take communion with my family. I can't wait to praise God next to you again
