18 Aug 2022Bob was an amazing Father, Husband, Grandfather, and friend. He was so loving, kind-hearted and loved his Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. He accepted my brother and me when I was 12 years old and always made us feel like we were part of the family. He was a hard worker with an integral spirit. He had a heart of service not only for his country, but also for serving others. His infectious character will forever remain with me! He will be missed. Thank you for everything!
