I was saddened and sorry to hear about the passing of my friend 'The Rev'. Bob was a great guy, a loving family man, a good golfing buddy and co-worker at AMAX.
My sympathies go out to Mary Nell, Bob's daughters Lori & Tina and his Grandchildren, all of which he always mentioned and spoke about during our phone conversations. Bob and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You Rev.
