I will try to do this without ramblin. We first met Bob in March of 06. We were lookin for someone to finish our basement and he left a flyer in my mailbox. From there on we just became pretty good friends, getting to know each others families. Bob was an unbelievable craftsman,his work was second to none, incredible work ethic. He was a great provider. He will be missed by many. He is the first friend i have lost in this world so far and it really really hurts. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, selena and kids. Like my wife told me, God is building something extravagent up there and needed his help. Rest in piece my friend, and i will see you again someday
Love, Dave and Jill

I don't even know where to begin? I still can not believe this is really happening. I have had so many good memories with you, Kaylee, Jake, and Nina. I remember whenever I would walk into your house and you would always say, oh hey my second daughter is here! & how you and Nina would always make fun of me for showing up right when you guys were about to have dinner, haha or when we were eating dinner and teasing Nina about saying 'da bomb'. Everyone is going to miss you so much and you are in everyones hearts, we love you!

Bob was my best friend an so much more. He was like a big brother a mentor and an all around great spirit, there's not one memory that I have of Bob where I can say he wasn't an outgoing , standard setting person full or life. I really looked up to Bob he made me proud to call myself a carpenter and generally speaking he made me into a good person. They say you leed by example, well if was your example then consider your self a leader because I do, I'll always follow your lead beesko,
love AL
