I just loved Bob, he was so sweet and his smile was priceless. Of course he had that honry side too!! I can’t describe his little laugh he had, but I loved hearing it. When he would call Margaret Princess it just melted my heart. He would say it with so much Love, and you could just tell how much he adored Paula. He LOVED HIS FAMILY! When he would come in to see me his face would light up and of course that smile of his. He would just make my day. He was such a good good man. My biggest regret was that I didn’t know him before he started getting ill. We talked a lot about his military days but I just wish I could have learned more about him. I have missed not being able to see him due to all this covid19 going on, but it breaks my heart now knowing I will never get to see him again. I’m just thankful he is able to be at peace now.
Rest Robert, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. Career U.S. Air Force.
Bob was always a cheerful and helpful colleague when we worked together at Boeing Military Airplanes in Seattle in the ’90s. Truly a gentleman.
I worked with Bob several years and always admired him as a true professional and honorable man. He will be missed.
