To Bob’s Family..you have my deepest sympathy. Bob was a good man and was good at his job. I worked with him for 8 years while he was a supervisor at MLT Vacations.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless

Dear Pat and family….I am so sorry to hear about Bob. He was such a great friend … so many memories of our fun times in Chanhassen, Apple Valley, and Mpls. I will ever forget our celebrating his 300 in bowling and winning the Tampa bowling Tournament! Both on the same day! Imagine that! Bob…I love you and will miss you….until we meet again! God bless you and may you rest In Peace.

What I remember about Bob was the big smile and laugh that he has.
He is in our prayers.

Dear Pat, Chuck and I will miss Bob, and his smile.,he was so very kind, and helpful,especially when Chuck was, sick, your many visits to the hospital ,nursing home, and Chateau Waters, will always be remembered,What great friends,Rest in Peace Bob

Pat and family,I was really sad to hear about Bob,after knowing him for 66 years of so.I read Chucks comments and have to admit I was in a lot of those escapades also not to mention the oil job we have his dad’s car. He spent a lot of time at our house growing up and was adopted member of our family. He will be missed by all. Rest in peace old friend.

We are so sorry for your loss. Bob will be truly missed. He always greeted me with a hug every time we saw each other. I very kind man. Shawn and I will miss our time together. – our condolences to you and your Family , Pat

My dear brother, widely known as Uncle Bob, will be sorely missed by Mary Jo, our three boys and Molly.
I am older than Bob so we did not do much together socially in RC but that did not slow him down in the least for he was so often in one jam or another. Stories about Billy Bobzin, his best friend Lee Anderson, and next door neighbor Robert (BOBO) Ordner and others are classic. I doubt we will ever learn about all their antics. Such wonderful stories he could tell that would keep the adults and his niece and nephews in waves of laughter! He was a storyteller master!

He was a wonderful human being and a marvelous brother. I will miss Uncle Bob so much!!! Happy Trails and God richly bless his soul..

Pat, I’m so, so sorry for your loss. Bob was one of the most fun-loving & welcoming people I know. He would always make his way towards us at any gathering to make sure he said hello with the biggest smile on his face & bright sparkling eyes. He always made us feel so warm & happy with his excitement, barely being able to contain our own. What a wonderful man! Our prayers are for you, dear girl, to be able to find God’s peace that passes all understanding during this difficult time. May His loving arms provide the comfort you so need.

Robbie and I were so blessed to have known Bob for 40 plus years. All the memories of bowling,golf,and softball will never be forgotten. Not to mention the fishing weekends at the cabin playing nickel,dime poker. Bob knew more about sports history than anyone I have ever known. He and Pat were a welcome part of some of our family Christmas Eve celebrations. He even played Santa one year. We will miss him.
