I have seen Bob at the Medicine Shoppe. He was always pleasant and smiling. I have heard and read nothing but the same about him from the time this accident happened. How many people do you hear so many good things about in this day and age? He must have been one wonderful person. So sorry he had to die in such a tragic way. God bless the family for their loss.

Bob, was a very kind person, carving,helping,what ever you needed, he would bring medication to you anytime,sometimes make two trips. Never complain. he would visit with us and talk about his trip, I know from conversations he so much loved his wife,he referred to her as a saint. He loved his family, his brother and sister .i can't imagine all the hearts he has touched and and left a smile on their face,he was just that way,he truly loved people. We will miss him more than we can say. He was like our family. He was our dearest friend, and he will always be in our hearts always remembered and always loved.

Joan, I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was so good to my mom and I. He was always looking out for me ("if you need anything, just let me know"). He was the perfect neighbor. The last conversation I had with him was our longest and best ever. I left that discussion so inspired by his outlook on life, and thinking that I need to adopt such an attitude myself. I was at a festival this past Saturday and the clouds and sunlight in the sky were so beautiful. I looked up and thought of Bob and feel confident that he is in a good and happy place. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Dina and Lynn.

The world has lost a wonderful, funny, and compassionate friend. May you rest in peace Bob. You will be there in our next reunion in the heavens greeting everyone with your smile.
