Bob will never be forgotten. I enjoyed visiting with Bob about his experiences in life. He taught me how to catch walleye. I took what he taught me to the lakes and it worked. Thank you Bob for being my friend and a inspiration in my life. I will look forward to seeing you In heaven one day. RIP.

I always enjoyed seeing and talking with Bob at the golf course and a few years back he took me walleye fishing. I really enjoyed that day. He was a fine man and will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Bob was my first officer when I finished my probationary period on the fire department. I learned more from him than just about anyone during my 30 years with the department.
RIP Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Deepest sympathy to you Bonnie and your family. I have such fond memories of Bob and you and my dad and mom! Those were the days when we all worked side by side in the meat house! He was such a good friend to my dad and I always appreciated that so much. RIP Mr. Bob!
