I´m sorry to hear about Bob. He was always kind to me. I remember him buying me a little knife (horn handle)from the Bass pro shop and us going antique shopping. I remember him beaming about bubble lights on the Christmas tree and him calling me "sis". My daughter favors him at times and she´s beautiful. My love goes out to the family. I pray everyone is filled with wonderful memories and joyful times to help heal their broken hearts.

I was saddened to learn of Bob´s passing. He was always such a nice guy- friendly, polite and a true gentleman.
I appreciate his years of dedicated service as a constable, firefighter and school bus driver. He made the community better and safer.
