Our condolences. All our memories of Robert are great. I wish he could have visited Cavalier one more time, but the good times we shared will always be with us.
I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing, I was lucky enough to meet him while working at his doctors office. He always had a smile on his face and making jokes. He will be greatly missed
I just learned of Bob’s passing. We worked together in the 1970’s in North Dakota. What a outgoing, gregarious man he was. His love for family was everything to him. What a salesman he was. Bob will be missed……..
