I knew Bob from roller skating at the Chink Rink in the 70's and 80's. I ran into him again 3 years ago when I stopped by Altorfer. He was a great guy with a heart of gold. He will be missed. 

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Bobby.  He was truly one of the good guys.   Kevin and I have so many good memories of Bob, from roller skating back in the dat and a lot of 4 wheeling,  always had a great time.  Bob was the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off of his back if someone needed it.  He will truly be missed.

I will never forget all the good time we had together, from sitting under the bridge in Pekin check out the " Ladies" as Bob called them....Lol      or taking him with me  to a 4 Wheel Jamboree in Indy one year and for those of you that were there now what happened and how much fun we had...… no matter what you were doing with Bob around it was always good times and laughter and  he always would put a smile on your face.....and  always there to lend a helping hand no matter what the work was...…  he will be sadly missed by everyone...….RIP my friend

God takes the good ones to soon. I'll never forget the times we worked on your 76 Chevrolet. Put a lift on it and you were so proud. It was so tall we didn't know if we could pull it out of Dan's garage. Had to put little tiny tires on it to get it out.   Floated down the Mackinaw river,hung out at the river front. Awesome times I'll never forget. Love you cousin.  Chuck Flynn.

Hanging down by the river with friends. Fly high my friend!!!

  He would always call me "tweeter" and then give me that great smile of his. You could always count on him to make you laugh. He was a great guy!
Stephanie and Brendon so sorry,  Sending hugs and Prayers!! 

Condolences from Aunt Ann and Uncle Ed and the entire Ed Morsch family. We’re so sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace Big Bob. Thank you for everything you did at the farm. We will always remember you and Doug helping Jack. 

I worked with Bob at Altorfer and have known him for 14 years. He was always able to make me smile even on the bad days. He was always willing to help anyone and everyone. We loved to joke around and always seemed to have a great comeback.  Bob touched so many with his kindness and will truly be missed by all. I will always remember the times at our store parties as Bob would be out dancing with the gals having a blast! I will miss giving him a pat on the back or a side hug as he punched in for work. 
RIP good buddy.

So sorry to hear of his passing, Brendon, family n friends. He was an all around great person n cousin. He always treated everyone w respect n kindness. RIP.

I was so sorry to hear about Bob.   I met Bob when I was in high school and he was driving around in his big red truck!   Bob was always so kind and sweet.   I am so glad that I was reacquainted with him years later when my daughter worked with Brendon at Kroger.  Bob will be missed by everyone who knew him, he was such a good guy.  

Remembering Bob - with Sincere Condolences to the Lauss family.

I worked with Bob at Altorfer, his heart was as big as the moon. He would help anyone at anytime, he became a good friend along the 14 yrs that I worked with him, he always worked hard and never complained. He looked forward to coming to work just to be with friends he will be truly missed as a colleague and a friend.
Rest in peace my friend, God has your hand now let him lead you home. 

I will greatly miss Bobby, i will always remember him and the way he could light up a room. When he would come to my mom and dads house (Aunt Louise and Uncle Albert) he would  come in and say "you got any sweet tea Aunt Louise" knowing she did, and he when he would come to my house he would say the same thing. We would sit for hours drinking sweet tea and visiting. It is amazing how much he reminded me of my dad. I know my dad was proud of Bobby for being the good man he was. R.I.P. 

Brendan I have know your dad longer that you are old. While he has been working here at Altorfer Rents he never didn't meet a stranger, Always liked doing his job, and got along with all the people he worked around. He was the life of the party in and out of work. He was always willing to help the ladies, lol. Will be missed by a lot of people that he didn't even know. Your dad came along way being here. R.I.P. big guy
I speak for all the guys and girls here at Altorfer Rents  


The"Nickname Fat Tab"will be with me forever!
Rest In Peace.

I am so very sorry to hear about Bobby’s passing. Bobby and I are 3rd cousins, but I had not met him until we were in high school. I remembered that someone said his last name and I immediately asked him how he spelled it and all about his family. As adults I ran into him at his place of employment and we spent an hour catching up and laughing with each other. Bobby was always easy going and always very happy whenever we ran into each other. We did not get to see each other often, but when we did it was like we had never lost touch. I am honored to count him not only as family, but as a friend. You are all lifted up in our prayers and again we are so very sorry to hear about Bobby’s passing. 

R.I.P. big buddy. You are deeply missed. I do take a small amount of pleasure knowing my dad has a great friend up there now though. 

So sorry to hear this, it truly breaks my heart.
