Miss you bro. So sorry I wasn't able to attend your funeral. I'm sure there were lots of people there I would have loved to reconnect with.

Connie, It is still hard to believe. Fortunately there are many good memories to hold on to. Time after time for 40 years, Bob was always a gentleman, an exceptional co-worker, and a friend. At our monthly lunches, it was obviously that Bob was also a camping/RV guy and a proud family man. It was a pleasure to work with Bob in the mountains, and throughout the country. The work covered a wide range from getting service to a single home in small town Iowa to laying out a fiber network for metro Cedar Rapids. Throw in more projects like terrestrial microwave work and one of the countrys earliest satellite services for residential distribution. Bob had talents and easily adjusted to change and new advances. Bob will be remembered by many.

Connie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss! I remember Bob from church when I was a kid, and enjoyed reconnecting with him when he came back to Calvary. He was a very great guy and it was a pleasure to know him. May you all be comforted at this time that he is free of pain and suffering and with God in perection.

I can't remember when I first met Bob, probably back in the mid nineties. I met him through the cable TV industry and we worked on several projects together over the years. He was a kind and honorable man and I always enjoyed his company. You will be missed Bob. Prayers to your loved ones.

Connie, Bill and families,
So many happy memories; I shall remember always in my heart. Mostly coming over on Sundays after church. Bob was the only driver in the family at the time, I remember. May our Lord Jesus Christ wrap his loving arms around all of you, and know that Bob is with the angels now.
