ItÆs going to be very different around the shop with Bob no longer with us…
He would drop by the shop with a smile on his face and laughter in his heart.
You could always count on Bob to brighten up your day.
Whether it be with a funny joke or just his kind hearted nature, there wasnÆt much Bob wouldnÆt do for a friend in need. Bob was a very wonderful friend & neighbor, and anyone that knew Bob would tell you how much he loved and cared about his wife Jackie, son Billy, daughters Karen and Robin and grandchildren Robby & Deacon.
Bob you will be missed by so many, but you will live on in our hearts and memories,
YouÆre Friends & Neighbors,
Sam, Layla {aka} Tater Salad, and all the guys here at May Plumbing

We will all miss you, Bob! I don’t think there was ever a time that you came over and didn’t have a new joke to tell. We will miss hearing your deep laugh that echoed through the neighborhood and watching you go out searching for berries every year. You will always remain in our thoughts!!
Tony Crist says
Bob and I had not talked since he got sick, I had often wondered how he was doing, the guys at the barber shop miss his jokes. Bob and I worked together at Brooks Plate Glass, Bob had one of the best hearts , he was always there to help.He will be greatly missed.
Tom Mock says
To The Family:
I am an Oaklandonite. Bob and I both went to Oaklandon Grade School. After we got out of school, our paths never really crossed again. I was a neighbor to Catherine, next door in the white house, in the late 50’s upon returning from the service.
Please accept my condolences on the loss of Bob.
