Bob grew up near one of my best friends. He was one of the nicest young men I'd ever met. His kindness and friendliness were a direct reflection of his parent's involvement in their boys ' lives. We were all better for knowing him. We will keep your family in our prayers.

Bob was in no doubt one of the best supervisors I have had the pleasure to work with. In the short time I did work with him, he was always just a text or phone call away and no matter what was going on, he had the words to calm and help get focused to help me with my dilemma. Bob was also there for me to assist with the issues I faced personally after my wife had passed and left me with my 3 young boys to relocate, set up schools, doctors and more.
And when I needed to decompress Bob had that knack to get it done and we would both be laughing!
I spoke with him for an hour on Saturday July 2nd, we shared some great stories and laughs together.
He will truly be missed.
Saddened by the loss truly.
