I‘m offering my belated condolences. I initially lost touch with Bob when I moved overseas a few years ago, but thought about him and his dog Dozer from time-to-time. It hit me that I hadn’t heard from him or seen any posts online for a long time, and that’s when I came across his obituary. He was a character and a lot of fun to be around. I loved hearing Bob‘s stories and being engulfed by Dozer, who seemed to really love me (and thought of himself as a lap dog). Bob helped me out quite a bit and was a friend. I regret not keeping in contact with him after I moved. I know it’s been awhile since he passed, but I’m very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. He was our realtor, but he was more than that. We both found ourselves late in life and shared that common bond. May his memory be a blessing.
I had numerous phone calls with Bob in 2020 with a buyer referral from Las Vegas to Houston. Bob was a very nice, professional, and interesting guy. Sadly never got to meet him in person. My condolences to all his family and friends.
I just read about Bob. He and I worked together for many fun years at NCR, and I am a better person for getting to know him. May his family find peace it the knowledge that Bob touched so many lives in a positive way.
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a special man and I had the pleasure of working with him at NCR. He was always lots of fun. My prayers are with your family.May he Rest In Peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a fun, funny, and kind friend growing up. We had lots of fun on CYO trips and school dances. ??
