Margie, Michelle and Amanda,
I worked with Bob for ten years and knew him through Karl many years before then. I SO missed the Bob's Glass Shop gang after I left there and can remember many "Bob-isms" we laughed about when we got together afterward. The best memory I have about Bob is when you, Margie, and Bob attended the dinner at Cindy's house right before my son had his open-heart surgery. He blessed me with a beautiful prayer and let me know that my job would be waiting for me whenever I got back. He was always full of advice; to this day I still clean my mirrors with bunched up newspapers! I truly respected Bob for his service to the country that he loved, his service to the community through law enforcement, and most importantly to him, his service to his Lord through his church and their missions. Because of his strong faith, I am comforted knowing that he is with God...and probably telling Peter,Paul, Gabriel and whoever else will listen, just how they can do things a little more efficiently up there! :) I hope remembering his faith brings you comfort as well. I have been praying for personal peace for you all and hope that you know how much Bob meant to me and those who knew him. We will see him again, my love to you all.

Those of us at Socastee Baptist Church in Myrtle Beach, SC have the best memories of Bob. Margie and Bob were part of the family and a part of our church whenever they were here. Margie, we will miss Bob but we know he is in the Master's arms and will be waiting for his loved ones. He was a true Christian, filled with love for everyone he met. He made lots of friends here and was always calling to ask about them. We love you and your family and send our deepest love, sympathy and prayers.

Dad you were very special to me. I love you with all my heart. You and Mom took me into the family even before I married your son and I always felt like a daughter and knew you all loved me as well. I know you are in a better place now and I will see you again until then rest in peace and rejoice with the lord. Love always your daughter in law Kathy

Margie, B.L., Michelle & Amanda....Bobby, or better know by daddy as "Ace" will be missed by all. Maybe he & Harv are up there in heaven seeing how many slices of pizza they can consume like they did back in the day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
