Bob was as good as they get. I worked with Spitz, as we called him at Bemis. He could be relied upon and would give the shirt off his back. Heaven has gained a great soldier and earth has lost a great member of its team. Rest in Peace Spitz.

I played softball with Spitzy. He was a super nice guy and was nice to me which meant a lot as I was a younger guy. Very sorry to hear of his passing. I hope his family is blessed with good memories.

I am sorry to hear of Bob's loss. We lived behind the Spitznagle family on Wenwood Circle. My dad and Bob would sometimes talk over the back fence about things and my dad enjoyed conversations with the neighbors just to learn about the local gossip. He liked Bob. We lived in the neighborhood for many years and appreciated their friendship.
