Bob was a wonderful man, dedicated to his profession and hard work. Bob cleared right-of-way for us for many years. I was always amazed at his ability to complete the task at hand, regardless of difficulty and challenges. Bob always had a smile on his face and was a positive individual. Tim, I'm sorry for your loss and will keep the family in my prayers. Rest in Peace my friend!
