My Grandpa Bob puts a smile on my face. I took him on a 3 mile hike all up hill and he asked me if I was trying to kill him. I said,"Grandpa, you are in such great shape and always out walk me" so I didn't give it a second thought and he made it the whole way. Grandpa Bob told my kids the best stories and no matter how upset they were or if they complained of being bored, Grandpa would launch into a story that would capture their attention and make them quickly forget about their original woes. The only complaints that came from them when the story was finished was the desire to hear yet another one. My fondest memories of Grandpa is his time spent with me in my car driving to see all my accounts with me. He was always quick to offer advise and guidance, but was also very complimentary of my sales skills. Grandpa will indeed be missed.

We will always miss the amazing Robert Finz who always was there in our time of need. He was in great shape and it surprised us how quickily he got sick. He was my great grandpa and I will always keep a place in my heart for him.
