Industry colleagues remember


"I just heard about Bob and I feel as though a part of me has passed with him. He's a unique individual who can touch you briefly, but lastingly. I constantly compare others to him; he's the benchmark of something better."

"We remember Bob for his entrepreneurial style, hard work, quick humor, business acumen and candor."

"He had the ability to make tough decisions, but like a true Navy man, he never shirked from his responsibility or accountability."

"Bob was a natural born leader who let his staff succeed or gracefully fail."
