Robert Gleason Obituary

My condolences to the entire family.



My first post college job was working for Bob Gleason. I have wonderful memories of his entrepreneurial skills, dedication to his employees, and dedication to his family. Bob was all about family love, hard work, and having fun. I will always treasure my memories of those great 4 years of my life with Bob, his family, coworkers, and friends.

I truly am sad to lose this dear, dear friend and mentor. Heartfelt regards Phil, Ginny, Marty, and the rest of the family. The crane industry has lost an ICON.

I was so sory to read about your Dad .I have such fond memories of spending time with your family during our high school years.Your Dad was such a wonderful man and so much fun. I remember our plane ride to Hayward, WI.-I was so scared to be in that small plane and he kept tellimg me how much fun it was! Having just lost our Dad in May of this year I know what a terribly difficult time this is for all of you. I miss my Dad everyday-hope knowing that you are in our thoughts and prayers will bring you some comfort.

Kate and Bill Bowman send our condolances to Ginny and Phil, Karen

and Greg and all the children.



May Bob and Alice rest in peace.



We really enjoyed our friendship as

Roberts and Schaefer users of cranes

and we cherish the photos and memories.



We will say a special Irish prayer

that Bob and Alice will be in tir na a n-og , a land of eternal youth.

I was shocked and very sorry to hear about Bob. He was a good man with a heart of gold and I hope that God will reward him. I regret not having kept in touch with Bob and the entire Gleason family - my years working there provide some of my best memories!!! Bob made it fun to work.
