I first met Bob in 1982, and thought he was one of the nicest, honest men in the industry. I know he will be missed by many and we should all be thankful for the memories he left.

So sorry to hear the news of Bob's Passing! But I have to admit he is free to run the bases again! I have fond memories of Bob as I was a young 19 year old New Realtor in 1975 when I met Bob for the first time... I worked at the "other" Snyder office BILL Snyder Co., ...I quickly understood Bob's Classy , Honest & Professional way that he always presented himself and his Clients, Customer, Agents and us fellow Agents! I spent many times in his office with some of his agents... in fact we did some good business in the last recession! Bob will always be remembered from the days was Played in the Annual Realtor's Softball Tournament! He was a great recruiter and Great competitor! We had some some real fun & fierce games!
RIP Bob for a Life well Lived... You hit a Grand Slam!! Thanks for all you did for this young Realtor in the Day! High five! It was good to see some of the "old" faces at the Service this Afternoon!
