I worked with Bob throughout the 80s and have very fond memories of him. He was a fun boss to work for and a good friend to have all those years. Always smiling and happy. My deepest sympathy to his family.

To The Lopez Familia;
My condolences to your family at this time. I last saw Bobby in Wendover, resting before he hit the slot machines, again. He said he was just chilling out, away from the city. He had the same smile and laugh I remember from Lark. May his pains be over and he rest in peace.
