While I never met “Bob” personally, I do know how much he was loved and how much he will be missed.
After hearing Timi speak of him, I do feel like I know Bob and I am saddened that I never had the chance to meet him before it was too late.
My heart goes out to Bob’s family and friends, especially his wonderful wife Timi.
I am so sorry for your loss and you know that y’all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bob was a highly respected, and well-liked member of our team despite the physical distance that separated us on a daily basis. His knowledge of his craft and personability made him fun to work with even during the trying days of 2020. Bob will be missed not only as a co-worker but a dear friend. Rest In Peace, Bob.

Bob was a one of our best printing sales representatives and had a deep passion for his profession. I miss Bob and all the conversations we had about our business, customers and the technical discussions. The relationships Bob had with his clients kept our sales up and the production team at Professional Printers very busy. We will all miss Bob. My prayers are with his family.
