Every time I pass his former home off of Hwy 7 in Excelsior I think of Bob and his family.  I always remember him as he was in the mid-1970s, a perpetual smile, a positive attitude, and a kind word for everyone.  I realize today how much I miss him after all of these years, and how I miss the type of man, father, friend, and mentor he was.  A great man in the truest sense of the word.
