Bob was a friend for over 40 years. He was best man at Tom and my wedding. They met working at the post office years before I met either one of them. He was like a part of our family. I am saddened that I can not attend. Prayers and special thoughts for family and friends.

Going to miss you Uncle Bob. I have a lot of good memories of you. You gave me my first bowie knife that I still have to this day. I remember the farm and learning to shoot there. You always we’re just a cool guy. I love you and am really glad we stayed in touch these last couple years.
I met Bob by way of my neighbor Bill Witt. He was a likable and knowlegable man. A lifelong friend to Bill and helped him when he needed his expertise. Always a smile and a positive disposition. I will miss him, the memory of him will live on.
We were together for 7 really good years but unfortunately grew apart. You are a wise and patient man and you took care of your parents for oh so many years I loved how you bragged about your niece and nephews but truly wished that you had some of your own. I will miss our friendship that lasted over 45 years. May you glide with the angels
