    Have not seen Bob in years, since I moved away. But he was always remembered as truly one of the good guys I have had the pleasure of knowing in my life. Very smart and a great sense of humor. Too young. Wish I could have seen him one more time. RIP BD.

    We went to high school with Bob and remember him as kind and quiet, with a good sense of humor. We no longer live in town so we had been out of touch, but family members often went to Bob for mechanical expertise. Our sympathy to his family and many friends.

    I went to high school with Bob, and saw him at various times over the years after we graduated. He was a good friend of mine at Winersville High School. I remember helping him with a guitar amp once, and I know he was a top notch mechanic, both at the School District Bus Garage and in his own business. It's sad to hear of Bob passing at a very young 63. Bob, we'll all look you up when we get to that "Big Garage" in the sky!
