Bob was a gentleman, a trusted neighbor and friend.
He was always interested in a chat, sharing a story, and was knowledgeable on so many subjects.
We missed him when he entered the hospital and his absence was felt in our neighborhood. He will be long remembered by our family with many great stories and fond memories.
Our deepest sympathy to Alma and his dearest extended family.
So sorry for your families loss.

I was deeply saddened to hear that Bob had passed away. He was a good friend of my father’s and was the one that encouraged me to join the RNC. I had the opportunity to work with him over the years, in the HCU when that first started, and elsewhere during our careers. He was a great guy to work with and for; he stood up for his men, and was well respected by all who served with him.
Rest in Peace Bob.
