I was very fortunate to work with Bob and he was always willing to help out a person in need, share his knowledge and tell a lil trash to make someone smile. He is missed.
Calm seas and fair winds, brother.
Rest in peace Bob. You are missed and loved!
Bob my dear friend, I will miss you dearly. You were a giver and a pleaser. You would give the shirt off your back. You were so many wonderful things and great to so many. Berklee just loves that adorable talking cactus you gifted her! I’m so happy you were able to meet her. I’ll have to tell baby Braxton about you someday. We sure will miss all our Chinese dinners and movies!
Rest in Peace Bob,
We love you
We just got acquainted with Bobby the last few years at camp and a better, nicer friend you could never find. We will miss his friendship and beautiful smile! RIP 🙏
You left us way too soon, Bobby! There was so much more that I wanted to learn from you! You had so much to give the world. I will miss you, my friend.
Bob. Freind, colleague, always eager to help people and share his vast amount of wisdom. He always was a gracious and generous host (coffee and a sugary treat). I always will remember his big welcoming smile and shining eyes.
