I met Bob at Anytime Fitness. His smile every single day brightened my day and the kindness he always showed others is a model we all should follow. Every single member at Anytime Fitness that knew Bob, loved Bob. We will surely miss him and we are better for having met him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
