I was very disheartened to read in the paper about Bob's passing.
I worked with Bob 9 years ago and have fond memories of him. When I first started working, I thought he was the most grumpiest man I ever came across, but as I earned his respect and trust, you soon learned that behind the rough and gruff is the kindest and loving soul you would ever want to meet. I became one of the boys and was accepted in one of his circle of friends. When another employment opportunity came forward, Bob was by my side routing for me and encouraging me to move on. Although I attempted to keep in contact, he became a private man again and I couldn't reach him any longer. When you spend 40 hours working closely with someone, you have the opportunity to talk. I know that family, a few of his really close friends & Bud (his dog) was most important to him. My condolences go out to his family and all those that grieve the loss of our friend. May you rest in peace. Cindy
