    To Sharon and the kids. I am saddened about Bob’s passing. However knowing Bob as I did, he wouldn’t want me to feel sad but be happy. I am a far better person for having known Bob for these many years. He was always there for me with a helping hand.

    My buddy Bob! He was always one person I could talk to with any problem I may have had. We laughed over the years and enjoyed ham radio, photography and a cold beer on more than one occasion. He invited me into his home whenever I visited Phoenix and nursed me back to health from food poisoning acquired from our trip to Las Vegas. Bob…I will miss you!

    HI,
    I attended school with Bob from 4th grade on up. he was always a jolly , kind and very friendly down to earth kind of guy. I also know he was a self made man. As kids neither one of us had too much. May God bless his family. I am sure they are proud of him.

    With love and admiration,
