I worked closely with Bob for several years. Despite all he had going on, he remained positive, upbeat and had a clever sense of humor. He came to me whenever he needed advice or just needed to vent. He is more than a coworker to me. He is one of the few people I would refer to as my friend. I'll miss him.

Always clever and full of brilliant sarcasm...
Bob was one of the guys you could always count on.
Glad to have had Bob as a friend for over 30 years!
