Bob was a very inspiring person to me. He always had a good attitude and deep faith in God. I never got to tell him how I felt about him but I did reveal to him when he retired that I had been his "Secret Santa" the last couple of years that he worked. I just felt like I wanted to do something special for him because he deserved it!!!

Bob always made me laugh with his stories that he would tell about the reenactments that he participated in. And we always seemed to run into him at the local steak restaurant every time we would go eat there. He brought back alot of old memories with the DOT. He will be greatly missed.

To the Huling Family,
Mr. Bob was a true friend and loyal employee of the Department of Transportation. He was my subordinate for several years and was always very dedicated. He always trusted God for strength. I will truly miss him, but know he is in a better place. May God Bless You all, Ms. B........
