Bob was a really great guy. I have so many memories of time spent at his gas station where my dad worked when I was a child. He will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy to all his family. God Bless

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Bob was a very special person in my familys life. All my boys helped him on the farm and Bob always filled them up with ice cream and taught them all how to drive at a very young age. You instilled life long lessons in them. You will be sadly missed. Till we meet again rest in peace.
Our sympathy to Bob’s Family. He was a great guy and will truly be missed!
