When Bob and I first met 5 years ago, it was at Joe and Lisas Escape when we were all watching the Packers blowing out the New Orleans Saints. During the game, I met Bobs son Terry and he introduced me to his dad Bob the builder. Bob and I have been friends since. Bob left his mark on Big Flats when you look around at all the houses and garages he built. He always did great work and would go the extra step to make anyone happy. My buddies and I from Milwaukee will miss him a lot. Condolences to Sandy, his sidekick Wade and the family. Gerry from Milwaukee.
It’s a sad day in Bigflats and the fire Dept. When you asked if you could keep you uniform becouse you wanted to be buried in it, We didn’t think you would be using it so soon. Your a heck of a firefighter Bob. And even a better friend. I am proud to say I called you friend. till we meet again…
Oh Gosh Bob… What to say. You will be missed by so many of your friends and family. My memories will always remain .. the truck pull at the Dept. and the dance (striptease) Ahhh just all the fun stuff. Your dedication to the Dept. Your kind and caring ways. I could go on for a long time but you know and I know as well as everyone that you were close to. So I will leave it at this… To Bobs family I am so very sorry about your loss. To Bob.. Rest In Peace man…Toodle-oo!!!!
