A sad day, a great loss of a calm, steady man. I remember days of little league and basketball. He leaves a fine legacy to a fine family. My thoughts are with you this day.

To Bob's Family...So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Back in the day Bob and I worked and played a great deal of golf together. I will keep him in my prayers

Bob was one of the nicest, most kind, helpful, considerate persons I have known--anything for anyone. Just can't sing enough praises about him. He has a son who has followed in his footsteps. We've had many "crazy-good" times in the past. His dry sense of humor was unsurpassed. I am so thankful I recently visited with him at Heaton Woods talking memories. Fond thoughts of Bob will always be warm in my heart. Marty, Deb and Trudy: I love you all and the best to you and your families.

Uncle Bob was a very nice man with a wonderful sense of humor. I have fond memories of listening to my Uncle Bob and my Dad tell stories about their younger days. They would get us laughing so hard tears ran down our cheeks. Thinking of the old days. Jay, Todd, and Bev.
