Bob was a wonderful friend who I met online over 20 years ago, and who I got to meet in person he was such a gentle person who cared deeply for his family and friends. It has been a privilege and honour to have known Bob and his wonderful family. Love from us both in Australia. God Bless you all.

Gonna miss Bob. Met him online but was a good friend with a big heart. Gonna miss you my friend.
I met Bob in June 1975 while riding my motorcycle. We became best friends. I knew Bob 3 weeks and he loaned me his car for 3 weeks while I was working on my car and my bike was in the shop for maintenance. He never wavered and was more like a brother than just a friend. He was and will always be a brother and best friend. I’ll miss him and I am thankful to have had him for a friend.
Hey Lois, I’m so very sorry for your loss!! I’m glad Bob is no longer in pain and pray that you find comfort in the memories you have of him.
