My brother Bob is greatly missed by myself and my family. He was a loving husband to his wife Marlene and their wonderful children. He was a wonderful caring brother and only looked for the good in people. He was a private person and his family came first and then his family at work where he was looked up to by his fellow workers. He did fine work and was always there to give a helping hand to new comers if they needed with a kind word leading them in the right direction and not afraid to come back to ask any question no matter how small because they knew he would help in anyway that he could. Bob was just like his dad in many ways. In life he was that way to others in his family, friends and in his neighborhood. I will forever miss him and the wonderful talks we had through out our lives and my brothers and sisters feel the same way. We are all very thankful for our wonderful memories. Lastly but not least he was especially caring of his parents throughout their lives and always with them in time of need.

Bob was one of the best co-workers at EB. I will always remember Ridleys Believe It Or Not and am proud to have made it into Bobs writings. He was a great man.
