Bob’s daughter, Brandy, has been one of my closest friends since 1st grade. I spent a majority of my childhood and teenage years at their house. Bob was mainly a serious, straight forward guy but he also had a great sense of humor. It was easy for me, being naturally clumsy, to get him chuckling. He never let me live my trips and falls down, we always got a good laugh out of it. Bob and Julie both treated me like their other kid growing up. Thank you for all of the memories Bob. I’ll try not to trip over my own feet again but when I do, I’ll think of you and smile.
Please accept our sympathy for your loss. We always liked talking with him. God rest his soul and comfort you.
may you rest in peace good friend
