I will certainly miss Bob. He always seemed to have such a calming presence. Bob was warm, friendly and happily shared a smile. Just thinking of him brings a smile to my heart! Debbi Hassall (Bradenton, FL)

Bob was very kind and thoughtful and fun to be around. Growing up I enjoyed our family trips to his KOA as Bob and Ruth always welcomed us. Over the years we had many great conversations, family get togethers and of course our many casino trips, which were always fun. Bob will be greatly missed, but I will have many great memories of a great man.
