My deepest sympathies for your loss. We’ll miss Bob’s presence in the Thursday night Grandview golf league. Always a pleasure to play with, he had been in the league longer than most and had plenty of stories and jokes to share. May your fondest memories of Bob sustain you and your family at this time.

Bob was such a welcoming presence to me when I first moved into Grandview and his knowledge of the community the history the athletics were so impressive. And when he raised his hand to help with some painting at my house/another dedicated skill shown and a wonderful conversationalist. I walked by his house every day with my dogs and if he was out he would always speak to me and be open to advice. He leaves behind a proud legacy. Peace To the family.
