I was so saddened when I heard about Bob's passing. He was a wonderful man with a very kind heart. He loved his family with all his heart. Mark and family, you all are in my thoughts and prayers in this very difficult time. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to call me.

We are so blessed to have known Bob as a part of our family. What a sweet and wonderful man. I loved his sense of humor. He did great impersonations such as 'Foghorn Leghorn'. LOL and Elvis Presley had no greater fan. He definitely was a source of life and joy and is missed beyond words here. With GREAT sorrow and loss. Nanette Howard and on behalf of my mother Shirley Stewart whom Bob loved so dearly.
