Worked with Bob at Active and really enjoyed his stories, humor and kindnesses to me. May you Rest In Peace Bobby my friend. I am truly saddened. Donna you should know he spoke of you often and with love for you. That was one of the reasons I liked him so much. He truly was a friend to us and I know he will be missed.

Donna,, I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great co-worker and friend. Had some great times at the local Rasslin' matches, BBQ's, Block Parties or just hanging after work for a beer, or just the every day banter . The "Dobber" will be missed for sure by many and I'm blessed to have known him and work with him for many years. Say Hi to "HAWK" for me Bobbo!

Spoon-ball, Donny Dobbs, DePaul Basketball, Block Parties or "Taking it off"!! Any one of those would remind us of the past and turn into many laughs!! You were One of a Kind and I will truly miss you!!

Bob, we first met some 42 years ago through mutual friends at the Why Not Inn, including Mark, JC, Joyce, Kevin. Wed meet again later after Kate and I married, and I came to know you and Donna as a longtime, loving couple. You, your smile, your intelligence and wit will be missed. Our sincere condolences to Donna and your family.
