I am sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Through his employer Wickes Lumber I had the opportunity to work with him on many occasions. He was always prepared and always jovial. It made some of the tough days much easier to get through.

I only knew Bob for a very short time, moving to Perch Lake in August, but I could tell from the first time I met him (and Chance) that he was a fantastic neighbor and friend to everyone. I will greatly miss our road encounters, as he was the first neighbor I met and a favorite to see as I was driving or walking the road. He spoke with me about my mom passing in October and provided great comfort to me during that challenging change. He really helped us feel welcome to the new neighborhood. I will miss my visits with Bob, but I feel very blessed and inspired to have met this incredible man.

Karen our thoughts and prayers go out to you and family. We cherish the memories of you two on the many Wickes trips we shared. Bob was a leader in our district and always enjoyed talking family, work and catching up. Always seemed like we had many good things to talk about. Our annual golf outing get together will never be the same . Hugs from Angie and I.

Karen, Scott, and Family. Wow........We lost a husband, father, grandfather, brother and a best friend. I remember our first bowling league, playing bumper pool in his dad's basement, working at Roycraft trailer plant ( a few long drives home ), and all the good times spent together enjoying a few barley pops. Hard to realize how fast time goes. We are praying for Bob and especially the family durning this time of loss. His friendship will always be remembered.

Karen, so very sorry for your loss. My memories of time spent with Bob are all good and so special. Riding around in his Corvair, getting chased out of Owosso so many times, not sure why. We had both just started driving when his dad got that brand new '65 Impala, wow, was that ever cool. All those good times at the bowling alley and time spent with so many friends. Good memories forever !
Thank you Bob, thank you Karen.
