I had the honor of working for Bob for over 10 years and came to know him as a fair and upright man, with integrity and a wonderful sense of humor that made each day a new beginning. He was a true mentor and an inspiration to all of us who worked with him. He will be missed! My condolences to the family and to Diana who was always by his side.

The Wessman family extends their deepest sympathies over Bob's loss. He was a very dedicated friend, co-worker and employee for many years and a man of honor and integrity. Unfortunately over the years we grew apart and lost touch but his memory never left us.

Lapham Family,

Our deepest condolences to the Lapham Family. Worked for Bob's Brother Larrry Lapham for many years, and ran into Bob quite often during that time.
Sorry to hear that another of the Lapham family has passed on, they always treated me and my family as part of their family and they will surely be missed.

God Bless,

Richard, Judyann, Christopher, and Rebecca Moreno
