Bob was truly part of that greatest generation. I was both fascinated and terrified by the harrowing stories he shared with me about his experiences during WW2.
Bob was a great coworker and manager, I always appreciated his calm mild manner approach to any situation, he brings back lots of great memories, rest in peace boss.
