My heartfelt condolences to Bobs family.
I had the pleasure to work with Bob to and from for quite many years. We all got to know Bob as a good collegue with a very warm sense of humour. One memory of many was when Bob came to Sweden together with a teddy bear I think was called Dusty. Dusty the bear travelled with Bob and when he got back home Dusty told the travelling story through Bob to school kids. Where Bob went, Dusty also went. Bob put up a little show when he went through customs as Dusty had a passport to be stamped, when we were on jobsite driving a roller or when the bear in the evening had a beer or sometimes stayed at the hotel and slept like a bear. Bob did this in a very humorous and much appreciated way. I think in one of many ways it showed the warm and humorous man Bob was.
All the Best to everyone in Bobs family over there and over here Bob will be kept in the best of memories.
