I worked with Bob for many years at Sherwin. I am saddened to hear about his departure. Godspeed.

Bob was a mentor to me at Sherwin-Williams in the 1990s. I left there in 1997, but kept in touch with him and his family for many years, mainly through Christmas cards. I thought he would be at Sherwin-WIlliams forever. I'm glad that he had a few years of retirement. It seems that he died too young. My condolences to the Polly and the next generations of the family.

Will always cherish Bob’s humor and love for classical music. We had a lot of laughs at Sherwin-Williams.
