"I worked with Bob at Eagle Foods and then later, at GRMC. Bob was a kind and intelligent man who loved people and especially loved his family. He was fun to work with and always a gentleman. We will miss you."

"During my seven years of Elementary and High School in Dallas City, Bob was my best friend. He was a true friend! We shared love of sports and spent many hours hitting a baseball as far we could to each other, throwing "grounders" to test and hone our fielding skill, playing tennis at the Recreation Park decrepit court (no net, just a string we put up), and shooting baskets at the hoop by the high school (before the new gym). Bob arranged to have a "try out" with the Burlington Bees professional baseball team in Burlington. We arrived just in time for their pre-game batting practice. Bob pitched to a couple of batters and then the team hitting coach told him to "Stop pitching like that. You're supposed to let them hit." Bob had a wicked curve ball. My pleasant memories of Bob are both wide and deep. "
