"Bob was one of the toughest, kindest, and most generous friends I've had the pleasure of knowing. From day one, he treated me how he wanted to be treated ,with respect. Our friendship immediately blossomed. From playing cards, collecting rocks, watching sports, and just talking about life; Bob made a huge difference in my life. This is something Bob has been doing for a long time....giving people hope, a place to go to, a helping hand, or sometimes monetary help. From AA club years ago to his many years at Winona Arms, Bob has helped many people come together with his notorious cookouts in the summer and dinners at the holidays. He was a true humanitarian. I am proud to have had the honor of having such a Great Friend. God shall now hold his hand."
