It was my pleasure to know Bob as a friend and golf partner for fifteen years,I have never had a more warm and kind companion.He was a devoted Christian, and totally dedicated to wife and family. The world would be a better place, if there were more like him. He will be missed.
God Bless. I'll always remember how nice Bob was to me as a kid growing up in Wisconsin. Marie too. Two great people that will be missed but not forgotten.
