Bob was more than the President/CEO of Professional Travel, he was a father, mentor, and the guiding light that kept us grounded and together. He built not only a very successful business, but a huge family that remains together today because of him. He and June truly cared about each and every one of us to include our families, and we all felt the same about the both of them. Bob will be so sincerely missed as the world will not be the same as we know it, but the Heavens will be because he is seated with our Lord Jesus Christ and his many Angels. I take personal comfort knowing he will be watching over all of us as we continue through life until we meet again. Sending lots of love, prayers, and comfort to Dear June and all of their loving family.

Bob is one of a select group of men that I wanted with me in spiritual battles. He was a warrior for the kingdom faithful and trustful. Miss him and June in the area.
