It Was A Pleasure Working With Bob. He Was A Friendly Giant.

Dear Cecile, I just found out about Bob's passing and was deeply moved. He was a wonderful, kind man with a great personality. He certainly was a good friend to my brother, Donald. I can still see him sitting in his beach chair in front of MacDonalds with his cigar in his mouth and a smile on his face.
He went through a lot the last few years, health wise, and I think God felt he had enough pain. so he took him home.
I do hope that you are doing ok and know that it will take time for you to grieve and to try to heal. I shall pray for you and I know that Bob would want you to go on as time permits.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Roberta (McConville) Heaney

To the Anter Family,
I will forever remember Bob with a cigar in his mouth and a hearty laugh for all in the box making area. A nice man and even better friend. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.
