A Special Note from his Family:

During Bob’s battle with cancer, he had the time to write the above obituary, once again easing the burden for his family. We wanted to add the following:

Bobby was the best husband, father and Papa that anyone could ask for. He always put his family first. He worked tirelessly to support us to be sure we were well cared for. His grandchildren adored him, and he loved them more than anything in the world.
