I am so sorry to hear about Bob. My condolences to the family. I regret that I will not be able to attend the services as I have been ill for the past week. Bob was a very special person to me and will be greatly missed.

Worked with Bob at the old plant 2, in the many conversations we had I always enjoyed his dry humor and his Eastwood like demeanor. He will be missed by all who knew him.
