My condolences to Bob's family and friends. Bob's company, Reliable Home Repair, did excellent work on my historic St. Louis properties over many years. Bob always gave personal attention to my repair and restoration projects, and I found managers like Brian Unnerstall to be capable and adaptable to changing conditions. I hope the business will continue for years to come.
