I learned of Bob's passing too late to attend services and wish to extend my condolences to the family. Bob hired me at AmBank, the start of my banking career. His smile and chuckle would warm your heart. He was well liked and respected by all. It was an honor and pleasure to have known him. Rest in peace Bob.

Jean and Family:

We will miss Bob and his wonderful sense of humor, but mostly the great friendship.

May you have comfort in the knowledge of how much Bob was loved by everyone.

Our deepest sympathy.

Although we didn't see each other often after our mutual retirement from banking, I still considered Bob a good and close friend. We shared many lunches together and had a lot of fun, many times at each other's expense.

Jean, please be assured that Bob will be sorely missed, but the memories we have will stay with us forever.

Our very best to you and yours.

I worked in the same bank as Bob. And then he got married and I remembered how he trembled at the wedding ceremony. to me it showed how serious it was for him to be married. Jean and Bob and their two boys were a very early part of our 'married' lives in Las Vegas. I will always remember him as a very good man. Jean, his wife, and I shared many baby sitting turns. Our babies are now in their mid-40s. So many fond memories from years gone by. My heart aches for Jean as I know she misses him very much.
