I am so saddned to see that Bob has passed. I certainley enjoyed him as my neighbor these past 8 years. He was so inspiratiinal no matter how difficult it was for him to get around he loved getting on his lawnmower and cutting his grass. I am sure gonna miss him.
My Uncle Bob was an awesome guy. He was so much fun with us kids growing up. He hung out with us kids more so than the adults at the family parties. I’ll never forget the RV trips he took my bro and me on. When we got around the teenage years, he’d pick up bro and I, or our mom would drop us off at his place, to work for him. We did yard work, refinished cabinet, decks, whatever he had planned for the weekend. We had breakfast buddies from BK in the the morning, and Blimpie sandwiches for lunch. And he paid us like men…later, as an adult, I’ll never forget the great times we had shooting pool and hand out at his bar in the basement… Listening to Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, and just wrapping. An awesome Uncle and friend.
