Just heard today at an AA meeting that Bob had passed away. Bob was always there for people in need of support. I worked with Bob at Federal Mogul. I talked with Bob on several occasions even with his illness he was still there to talk. Bob's friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Drove home from Greenville today after your service. First time I couldn't call and "check in" to let your know I got home safe. I miss you so much, dad.

Bob was a wonderful neighbor. Always ready with a wave, smile and a little extra time to talk. We were so lucky to know him. We would like to think that he is tending the yard and Mary Lou is digging in the flower beds of Heaven. So sorry we did not make it to the memorial service. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve. We will miss you Bob. Laurie, Alan, Hunter, Evan and Hanna Hartley

So wish I didnt have to miss Bobs service... Never met a nicer, more compassionate man! He was truly a man of integrity;never short for words of encouragement, the world is certainly a better place when men like Bob are in it...he will be sorely missed though well remembered. May God bless his family as they mourn the loss of a great man!
