I will miss my old friend Bob! He was a friend, mentor, pest and always made me laugh! We had many conversations that ended in serious laughing fits, which in many cases, eased the stress of the job we worked together on for a few short years. I am so glad Bob and I could stay in touch after retirement and I am already missing his emails, as they have gone silent. My wife Sherrill, daughter Michelle and I were honored to be able to attend Bob's service and the dinner later in honor of him. We wish Edie, Claire and family, Rob and family and Diane and family peace and comfort and most of all, God's blessings. I know my old buddy Bob is waiting up there to see all of us when it is our time. I look forward to our next laugh. RIP peace my friend.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. It was a honor to be able to meet Bob and take care of him during my time with Pikes Peak Hospice. Bob always called me a pixy and enjoyed our conversations about fishing and whatever else we could laugh about. What a wonderful guy. He will be missed. May God comfort the family during this time.
