Steve,Amy,& Paul,I am very sorry for your loss.I have many fond memories of Bob since we were little kids. Bob was shorter than me but I looked up to him. He was a very good person and I marveled at his high activity level. Bob always had a nice smile that made a person feel better. I definitely will miss him.

I was saddened to read of Bobby's passing. He was Godfather to our oldest son. While growing up on 11th Avenue, we spent many hours at his brother's filling station as well as teammates at Froebel HS along with numerous other softball teams. Our family's heartfelt condolences go out to each and every member of Bob's family.
