Uncle Bobby was a great man. He was one of my dad's (Craig Post) best friends. He would do anything for anyone. We had great times up at the farm...swimming in the dam...ice skating on uncle bobby's pool with Jodi and Jenny....or just cooking out. I was very shocked when I was told the news. I will miss him very much. Take care!

Jeni & Jodi,
Sorry to hear about your Dad. He's a great man. I was always excited when I knew we were coming to your house to play. I have great memories of the big picnics, swimming, fishing & playing around the ponds.
Remember the good times, He will be greatly missed.

Greg and I were saddened by the loss of our neighbor. Bob was always part of the "moutain" community since we moved in at the bottom of the lane in 1979. Our condolences to family and friends.
