I haven't seen "Robo" in about fifty years but I always remembered him fondly. He and his first wife Peggy were youth leaders of Mt Calvary Lutheran Church when "Robo" was in his early twenties and I was about 14 at the time. I looked up to them. I'll never forget what a good looking and great young couple they were and how devastated he was when Peggy died. It's good to know that he survived that tragedy and went on to have a happy life. My heart goes out to his family.

I met Bob while doing some work at his Industrial Gasses plant in Sauget. He was one of my quiet heroes - always making a deal and adding vitality to every transaction. A true entrepeneur who created situations where everyone was a winner. I will miss him.

It was such a shock to hear of the loss of Bob. I worked at Illinois Power Co. with Bob and remember his family and the fun we had. I include my Aunt Ruthie Brumitt in the list of former fellow workers at Ill. Power. She was our Home Economist and will miss Bob too.

Dear Connie and family,
What a tragic loss for all of you. Your Father sounds like a wonderful man who loved and lived life to the fullest. I know you will miss him terribly. I remember him coming to visit your Grandma sometimes with your Mom. May all of your wonderful memories give you strength, peace, comfort and joy in the endless days without him.

Susie and family, we read of Bob's passing in the Peoria Journal Star. You are definitely in our thoughts and prayers. We often drive by the old Mineweld when we're in town and ahhhh, the memories. I'm sorry we won't be able to make it down this week due to work schedules but will be at Valhalla on March 6th, Bruce's birthday. Remember, crying is good for the soul. May you find comfort in knowing your family will be prayed for Sunday at my church.
Yours in Christ, Pat, Stephanie and BJ Penny

I wanted to express my sincere condolences on the loss of Bob. I first met Bob when I worked at Monsanto and we developed a business relationship over many years. I was the manager that worked with Bob when he started Industrial Gas Products and supplied hydrogen to Monsanto. I really enjoyed Bob's business friendship over the years. We talked about family every time we met. I know he loved his family and was very proud of them.
My prayers and thoughts are with each of you during this very difficult time. May God watch over and comfort you.
