Bob and I spent many good times together both in high school and after.

We became painting partners in college and worked summers together during that period.

He and I celebrated my 21st birthday together.  One I will never forget.

He was also my dentist until I left the Twin Cities to move east.

Bob was a great person who always had a smile and was up for anything.

Rest in peace Bob.  You are missed.

Bob was in several of my classes. I always thought he was so good looking and admired the dignified way he carried himself. It seems he had a very good life, though it ended too soon. Rest in peace, Bob.
