Angie, Nate, Rosemary and Joy:
I can't express my heartfelt sympathies.
He will truly be missed. I can't believe I won't be seeing him for Super Bowl Sunday. I looked forward to it every year. Even though, Angie and I talked through the entire game, Bob never got frustrated with us. He just laughed.
He was such a good friend.
I know all of you will miss him, but please know that if you ever need to talk, you can call me or email me.

It is so difficult to express my deep sadness when hearing of Bob's health issues and then his passing. So many memories, so many laughs, and even some tears. Bobby was always there, in the middle of everything, ready to go. We could always count on Bob. His generosity to his fellow employees is something I will always remember. When tragedy struck someone, Bob was there with his support. The envelope was always "heavier" after Bob signed his name. He was a good man. My deepest sympathies to his family.
