My fondest memories of Bobby & I motorcycling after school & on lazy summer days. I am so very glad he came to are reunion & we went for a ride, just like old times.He will be dearly missed, but we will all have are own wonderful memories of him. Rest In Peace, Bobby.

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
