My condolences to Bob's Family on their loss.
Bob gave me tremendous Hands on Fire/Rescue Work Opportunities/Experiences as a Young Firefighter back in the Early to Mid 1980's at Frackville's Station 360.
As a Young Firefighter back then Bob would allow me to instruct with him at Firefighting Classes at Zapata Industries and at the Annual Schuylkill County Fire School held at Lakewood Park.
As my Chief back then he allowed/gave me many opportunities to attend MANY FIRE INSTRUCTION CLASSES including Week Long Classes at the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy at no cost to myself.
As a young man I enjoyed Ride Along Opportunities with Bob when he was On Duty as a Frackville Police Officer on the Friday Night Shifts.
Much thanks to Bob for allowing me those opportunities as a Young Firefighter/Young Man for they helped opened up many valuable doors in the Fire Service years later.
