We will always remember the good times when Bob came to Florida to see our mother, Marlene. They enjoyed many happy years together, we only wish it could have been more. We were all proud to say such a kind and sincere man was a part of our extended family.

A great person who shared his talents with helping us begin the chore of building our house and sharing his custom van so my wife and I could go on vacation to Maine when things were tight. Just call and he was there to help.
