    Bobby was a neighbor growing up in our neighborhood. He was a little older so we always felt so important when he gave us attention! I remember him as a kind person and am sad to think he is no longer with us. Prayers for all his family and friends.

    My thoughts and prayers are with Bob’s family. I work in an office located on the floor below the Barber Board and got to know Bob very well. He was kind and considerate, and I’m going to miss him.

    Sincerely,

    Bob was a great problem solver as he seemed to look at issues from a creative angle. He had a keen eye and an unusual perspective. His kind and gentle heart made room to never say an unkind thing about anyone even with difficult people he saw their best . His calm, giving sense of humor always made me feel at home. I feel privileged and much richer to have briefly known Bob.
