Sunny & family - I will never forget the Father's Day week-ends we all shared at CSU. My favorite memory is a night we were at Guiseppe's with all the dad's and your dad insisted I try the best chewing tobacco ever made. I think it was Norwegian. OH my, it tasted so bad! And the way we got our dads to get up and dance to songs like the funky chicken.

I remember how much fun we had with your parents when Nancy and I spent Thanksgiving with your family. We were so amazed at that machine that you had where you could make your own pop. And we did so appreciate that they lent us their car and boat so we could have a fantastic time at the Colorado River.

Just know that we are all thinking of you.

Dorothy and Bauer Family
The Kunzi/Dobbyn family send their deepest sympathies to Dorothy and family upon the passing of Bob. He and Global Marine were important parts of our families' lives and continue to be so. (My husband Bill continues to work for the successor firm Transocean.) We have very fond memories of the Global Marine picnics in the early days up in Santa Barbara California. Global Marine was like a second large family for many of us back in those days. Thank you, Bob, for the contributions you made in the offshore oil/gas drilling industry and for the many families for whom you provided a lifelong career. You were a pioneer, leader, and great friend. You will be missed.
With deepest sympathies,
The Robert & Jane Kunzi Family
The William & Jeannette (Kunzi) Dobbyn Family
