We express our most sincere to Susie and the entire famil.
What a great guy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob at Methodist Hospital. I enjoyed Bob. God Bless all of your family.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Bob was my first boss at Methodist, and he was always kind and caring.
Bob was such a lovely and kind man, he will be deeply missed. We will all cherish memories of Bob discussing Norte Dame football & golf games; Bob loved his family and his eyes lit up whenever one of his sons was near, and so devoted to his beloved Susie. We will cherish Bob; always: God bless
