Bob has been a friend to my family since he first sold insurance to my parents over 40 years ago. He always had a smile for everyone and something kind and thoughtful to say. He loved his daughter, Jenny, and very proudly told us of her accomplishments throughout the years. He gave my father emotional and religious support when we lost my mom in 2008. He was a true "angel" walking this earth and he will be missed by everyone whose life he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lynn, Jennifer, Greg and all of Bob's family.
