I knew Bob during my 18 years at Huntington Hose and Hydraulics. I enjoyed seeing him come in to do business and talk. My co-worker Carolyn was also good friends with Bob. She enjoyed his company and conversation also. She made me aware of his passing and wanted to express sympathy to the family from us both. RIP Bob!

Bob was a great friend and coworker since high school. He was always willing to help others with their home projects. After I was transferred from Huntington to Charleston he visited my dad and always had to time for his stories. He was dad’s Mr Fix it guy. Rest In Peace my friend.

It is with great sadness that I write this. Bob was a man I have know my entire life and was family to myself, wife and kids even if it wasn't by blood. The way he lived his life was very respectable always willing to help anyone and very kind. As a child I have memories of wrestling around with Bob at grandmas house and sitting on the porch talking as he drank sweet tea. Now as an adult I have memories of him wrestling around at grandmas house with my children, him helping me with car troubles, and many more. Love you and miss you.
