Barband and Steve, I only worked with Bob a few times but he seemed like a good guy. I am sure he will be missed by you all. I lost my brother a year and a half ago so I know how it is right now. He will be in our prayers as will you.

My husband knew Bob when he was growing up and motorcycle racing. We have not seen Bob in years, as we have moved away from Chillicothe- but sad to hear the news of his passing. Our condolences are with his family at this sad time. He will be missed greatly. Larry and Tracey Kornbrust (Gretna, Louisiana)

Bob was a joy to know and a wonderful person to work with. His sense of humor and brilliant smile made any dark day brighter. The saying "never a dull moment" directly applies to his sharp wit.
His love of life and motorcycles was most apparent. When Bob was on his Harley, the destination was second to the joy of the journey. When life threw a "curve" at him, he leaned into it-- and helped many others do the same. He will be remembered, he will be missed.

Dear Brenda: We will miss BA so much. He was a great friend. He could make you smile, even when he didnt feel like smiling himself. He always thought of others first and didnt want anyone to know his own pain. He was couragous, loving, caring and had an outrageous laugh! He is with his family now and at peace. God Bless you all as you get thru these next few days, weeks and months without BA. Love you BA....Always in our hearts...."The Wagners" Steve, April Christina Ben and Carina
