I’ve only known Bob for a short four years and in that time I learned what a kind and gentle person Bob was, and how professional and knowledgeable he also was. Additionally, it was apparent how proud Bob was of his family and his faith in God, a shiny example of how we all could be. He will be dearly missed. Eternal rest my friend, you deserve it.
