I am a supplier who worked with Bob for about 10 years. Bob was tough to deal with at first but once we proved ourselves he was very fair and a pleasure to deal with. He will be missed and I am thinking of his family.

Bob gave me this John Lennon print in 1995, when I was 24 years old and at a very crucial time of change in my life.

He wanted to make sure I knew I was loved and accepted, despite being different. That is just the kind of man he was, and I am a better man for knowing him.

30 years later, and it still reverberates. it remains one of my most cherished possessions.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family. I love you all, and I am so very sorry for your loss

Love Kevin
