Bob spoke about his two greatest loves ALL of the time- family and golf, and sometimes in the same sentence. We will miss his passion for both. He left us way too soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

We wanted you to know how much we liked your dad! My dad is Ron Palmer and dad and Bob had a lot of fun together! Bob came to our house a lot in the summer as my mom and dad have their camper on our property! Our three kids really enjoyed him! He truly loved kids! My husband, David golfed with your dad. We are thinking of you during this time of your loss and our prayers are with you!
