Very sorry to hear of the loss of Bob. Bob probably knew me before I knew him just because of the age difference. I first met Bob pert near 51 years ago working for his brother fuzzy. He was still a very young man and I was still a very young teenager. He exposed me to a lot of things none of which were bad in my opinion. Well, except for maybe drinking the beer. Learned a lot of things from Bob. Mostly about life. I learned how to work hard and play hard. Really enjoyed the stock car races on Friday nights in Davenport with him and Dee. She use to cut my hair, when I had some! Dawn and I would like to extend our sincere condolences to Shelly, Robert Jr. and Bryan and all of there extended families as well as Bob´s siblings and there families. God Bless Bob.

I was saddened to hear of Bob´s passing.
So many wonderful memories of Bob and Dee helping my folks coach our Monroe Yankees softball team, hosting some of the best slumber parties, and just being wonderful people. My deepest sympathies to Shelly, Bobby and Bryan. Hugs, prayers & love to you and your families.

I remember Bob and his wife Dee from my childhood which was a very long time ago considering I am 70 years old. They rented from my parents and lived in the upstairs apartment. Two of the nicest couple I ever met. I also babysat for Shelly as a baby. Dee was such a gorgeous women. Bob was such a caring man even after all these years I've thought of them often. Loving them was easy. Rip
