Sorry to hear about Bob passing away
I was so sorry to hear of Bob;s passing. I worked for him at Faucett's Equipment Co. in Bryant when I was in high school. It was my first job and he was my first boss. I learned a lot about the work world and about life from him. He was a tough boss, and yelled a lot, but I had a lot of respect for him, and I think he liked me, even though he didn't show it a lot. I saw him give people second chances, whether I thought they deserved them or not. This was over 30 years ago and I still think about him a lot. Again, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
