I met Bob only twice in the hospital and he deeply touched my heart. He glowed when he talked anout his girls. I do not know why some few make a forever connection, but Bob did. And I never got to tell you thanks, Gail, for the BBQ you brought me! i wish you and your family peace.

I have such wonderful memories of your family at Broken Arrow. I had Lindsey in my fifth grade class and Bob made an amazing cake for our Grammy party. Lindsey loved sharing this cake with her classmates and was proud of her dad for making it. I was also fortunate enough to have Rachael in 6th grade and she frequently bragged about her dad's cooking. What a special family! I am so sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to the family. Bob was one of the nicest people I met when first starting at Allen Press. Althought I did not get the opportunity to interact with him much over the years, I carried that kindness with me, and will continue to do so.

I worked with Bob at Allen Press. He was a great guy and would help you with anything. I also loved his dry sense of humor. Bob will be missed at Allen Press.
