We still think about Bob everytime we go to the gym. He would come from down the stairs and go to the Lat machine and then say "Hi". Bev & Ron Martin.

We have known Bob from Bally's, LA Fitness and E-Sporta. We did not know of his illness as we saw him 3-4 times a week at the gym. Always friendly and with a great smile. So sad to hear of his passing as we'll miss him. May his family and friends keep him in their hearts and minds forever.
