I'm so sorry to hear about Bob. Even though I have not seen him in a while, I still considered him one of my good friends. We used to snowmobile together with our boys, camp with him and his family and were invited over to their house in Rock Island. I met Bob when I worked for Ryan & Associates and when he owned B&B Insulation. A Great Man. Great Family.
Rest Easy Bob.
