    Very sorry for your loss. I have known Bob about 50 years and he has always been great guy. Had the pleasure of seeing him about 8 months ago with his daughter and he still had the same sweet smile.

    I believe that the people that you meet along the way in your life have a profound effect. I am blessed to have met Robert a couple of years ago thru his Grand Daughter Lynnette and enjoyed his smile,his laugh and the wonderful stories he had to share. I was not only touched by his warmness, but also by his wood working skills as he was so proud to show his creations of wood carvings. I am so honored and humbled to have had the pleasure of knowing him for awhile; he had a world of experiences to share. My deepest condolences to the Family.

Rest in peace Bob your tour is over sadly missed.
