Bob came to our office from the C&EI and we worked many years together. Bob was probably one of kindest, sweetest, most caring people I ever knew and he sometimes revealed a wicked sense of humor. After the railroad I was always glad to see him at reunions and the Howell picnics. Sometimes we would meet and lunch at the McDonalds on North Green River Road but sadly after a time we lost touch. I saddened by his passing and will treasure the memories I made with Bob.
