Our family has lost one of the funniest, warmest, most loving of men. My earliest memories feature Uncle Bob being called upon by the family to entertain us kids - and all the adults too! And so it was thoughout my life, Uncle Bob always had a great story to tell you that would make you laugh and brighten your day. During the years I worked at United I took pride in the fact that it was my Uncle Bob who everyone wanted to serenade them with his unique rendition of Happy Birthday.
Our wonderful memories are a lasting tribute to the man we have loved and lost too soon.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
I first met Bob when he worked in the interline tunnel at O'Hare; whenever I came through, he had something funny to say. He was a great man and he will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
I worked overtime many, many times with him on HIS Interline belt. He always had a new mouth song he would try to teach me. He touched many hearts at United and all the other airlines he came in contact with. I know you will miss him; He is in a much better place now. May God Bless you with many fond memories.
