To the family and friends of Bob, I was so sadden to here the passing of Bob. He was a very close and good friend to me. Every day at work, I looked forward to seeing and working with him. We had so many good times and we worked and laughed all the time.
We depended upon our friendship with each other to get us through each day,
and he was a special friend and a wonderful person. I missed him when he
retired from the job, and I will certainly miss him so much more.

Ann and family,
It saddens me to learn of Bob's passing. I have so many fond memories of our days at POMFLANT. Bob was the prolific story teller. No one could tell a good one like Bob. He was a master. My favorites were the stories following along bike trip with Capt'n Jack and the boys. NOthing like the gift of memories. I will fondly keep those memories and smiles with me until I see Bob again. Best to you and your family.
