Bob was one of the BEST friends a person could ever have! He was always optimistic, humorous and ready to offer a helping hand.
He was a GREAT Man, a GREAT Husband, a GREAT Dad, a GREAT Grand Dad, a GREAT Great-Grand Dad and a pretty darn good golfer!!
He will be missed!

Bob was one of a very few of my classmates at CB that always treated me as an equal. That laugh of his and great smile whenever we met over the years meant his friendship was sincere. His fairness and demeanor was a true tribute to his parents and the entire family. God bless his family and thank you for letting me get to know Bob and share a little of his life with me.

I don't really recall how I met Bob, although we were both Northenders. I moved to Illinois and would occasionally stop to visit him at the bank when I came back into St. Joe and we would swap jokes. Bob had a quick wit and a wonderful personality, and that was why I would stop in to see him. He was a true and good friend to everyone, it seemed. I will miss him.

We met and were friends in grade school to high school. He lived a block from me and we had many childhood memories and fun times. What a wonderful person he has always been. He will be missed by a large group of family and friends. Saying prayers. Rest in peace Bobby.

My mom watched all of the kids in her home daycare. They were very well behaved. We got to know Bob as well. I'm sorry for your loss. Will be praying for your family.
