Dear Denise, my heart goes out to you and your family for your loss.  You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Sincerely, Mindy McGee

Juanita and family, as well as his many 3M friends - this is sad to hear but whenever I think of Bob I have such great feelings and memories.  His smile and laughter can fill a room many years after he left.  Bob was a such a great mentor and friend to me during my years at 3M learning what it really means to be a leader, a father, a friend and basically just a good person.  I consider it an honor to have known him.  I had a chance a few years ago to see him up at Balsam Lake and I am so glad I had that chance to reconnect with him.  God bless you and your family and our thoughts and prayers will be with you and the family tomorrow.  Sorry we can't make it but we will be there in spirit!

Lisa and family,

I am saddened to hear of Bob's passing.  He was such a nice man.  I have so many fond memories of him growing up.  Saturday morning bowling, sleepovers and lots of giggle fests to name a few.  He was always so kind and welcoming. Prayers to all of you during this difficult time.

Lisa and family- I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was always so kind and nice to me. May your wonderful memories give you comfort during this difficult time.Micka McDonough Andersen

Bob was a great guy and friend.  He'd always give you his opinion followed by that  "infectious smile".   He loved to show off his "pipes" especially when he'd catch a big walleye.   I will miss Bob, he made life a "happy place" when I was with him.  I will cherish all the good time and he memories. 
Prayers of comfort and peace to Juanita and family.

Bob was a gentle soul who touched many lives. I enjoyed our fishing trips and his sense of humor. He will be missed but remembered by all.

Our fond memories of Bob will persist as good friend and company loyal, who ably and constantly balanced his twin tasks of solid supervision and employee support.

Bob was such a nice guy. Always very patient with me and understanding. He called me Bobby which was very enduring. I'll pray for the repose of his soul and the consolation of his family.

We will miss your friendly good morning and your smile..rest in peace..JoeRusch a Davita Neighbor

Bob was a patient at our Davita Woodbury Dialysis clinic.  He always came with a big smile and we all loved his infectious laugh!  He never came without his Vikings blanket and the sports section of the paper. We all loved you and you will not be forgotten.  May you rest in peace.

Bob, you were one of the best friends I could have at 3M!  I'll always Remember the trouble we use to get in making jokes and laughing too loud during lunch time - and even more so when Les was still there.  I'm sure you are having
a beer or a glass of wine with him right now.  Say "hi" to him :-)

You are so very lucky to have the family you do.  I know how much they all love you - you are a lucky guy, especially at the casino, and at fishing which is what I will miss the most - the steak frys with the other guys at your Sep.
fishing get together, and always welcomed us to watch the Viking game (and sometimes the Packers when Mike P. was there)!  You will be in our hearts always - love you!!

Susie and Bruce

My friend, mentor and boss over 40 years. I could always depend on Bob for advice, and to  stick up for us at 3M. He was special in so many ways and I will miss him dearly. I'm sure everyone who knew Bob well would be able to say, "I was his favorite". Hope you get assigned to me as my Guardian Angel.

I enjoyed working with Bob, he always had a smile and an encouraging word. He was one of the good ones. Rest in Peace, Woody.

The Good Lord decided it was your time to leave us Bob.  But memories from years working together at 3M, hundreds of "FishUn" trips and most importantly, 57 years of your valued friendship remain.  May the perpetual light of help shine upon you, rest in peace my good friend.

Juanita,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and you family.

I've known Bob (Woody) since high school  and will always have great memories of the fun times we all had together.  Both Rudy and I were attendants in their wedding.  What a special friend and our love to you Juanita.

Bob was a wonderful person that leaves his mark in so many  ways - personality. team player, family man, friend. He was simply one great and memorable individual.
It was a distinct pleasure to have worked with Bob and to have enjoyed his upbeat and fun approach to life.
Bob will be missed by many.

My sympathy to you and your family. Bob was great to work for he was such a help in my early years at 3M"

Juanita and family.  Sorry to see bob go he was always kind and had a very good sense of humor. We will always remember him as a dear friend and co worker.

Bob was a wonderful friend and colleague. I will never forget how he stud up for me when I was responsible for installing ACF2, 3M's first information Security Software.
