I have know Bob for almost 30 years as a friend and fellow hockey official. He was one of the most likeable and reliable people that I know. He was always positive in everything he said and did. Always carried himself with positive attitude. Good guy who has left us way too soon. My family is deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Bob!

Bobby was a great dad, son and husband. I know him as the one that helped his mom whenever there was a need. I would call Nancy to get together for hunch and sorry I´m having lunch with Bobby. He always sounded like a most active guy. So very sad for all the family at this sudden loss. May God be with you all during this very sad time.
