I am so sorry for your loss. I drove with your mom for 13 years in Madison and often think of her. She would often talk about Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Worked with Bob for many, many years. Bob was quite a character. My son Steven worked the night shift with him and loved when he was seated next to him. No matter how difficult the night may have been Bob always made Steven laugh.Steven would come home and say "That Bob is a funny guy". His humor will certainly be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all.
