I'm sorry for the families loss. I had the honor of working directly with Bob for 12 years at EFI|VUTEk in Manufacturing Engineering along with Todd, Kevin, Jim & Mark. Knowing him at least a little - He's upstairs making things better in ways we cannot understand. The world misses him greatly - I miss knowing that he was always there for anyone.

Robert, just like your Dad, you would just show up on Saturday or Sunday mornings to say hi, or help with a building project that was in the works at the time. Most recently, you lended countless hours on the construction of Larry's workshop last spring and summer, for which we will be forever grateful. We will miss your smiling face and caring attitude. Hope you and Richard are having a hell of a time being back together, and with Mom and Dad! Love, Lynn and Larry

Bruce I was so sorry to hear of you losing another brother. It's hard to think of not having
a family member physically in your life, but let all the memories help in your healing. Please

I worked closely with Bob for the last 5 years. I enjoyed very much knowing and having Bob in the team. Bob had one of the strongest work ethics I have seen in a very long time. Often times would have to kick him out of the building only to find he went home and continued to work on the various projects. He will be someone we all at LSI will miss, his easy going nature and sense of humor coupled with his strong technical knowledge were seen by all he worked with. Rest Easy Bob

Bob was such a great guy and I am saddened for his family. He could always make me laugh and had great times back in the days of Splitball Bearing. It was like a big family there. May your memories keep you

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family. Bob was more than a Coworker he was a friend to me. We worked together for many years sitting side by side in the same office at Vutek/EFI. I always missed his humor and stories after he departed the company.

My big brother Robert was a wonderful man with a big heart. He was always there for me and protected me from what can be a cruel world to a child growing up. You certainly made my life interesting and fun and I will miss you dearly. You taught me to ride a bike, saved me from drowning, and made family gatherings so very much fun. You will be missed, my heart is broken. Love you always, John
