I just found out about Bob's passing. We first met in 3rd grade and were great friends till adulthood and moving away. I remember when he wrecked his old Javelin, man he was heartbroken. Always fun to hang with, great jump shot. In fact, his nickname on our basketball team was "Smooth". Prayers for family and for Bob.
Thank you, Bob! Thank you for being one of the best friends, the best co-worker, and one of the most genuinely greatest human beings I have ever had the honor and privilege of knowing. I'll always remember the PW Trade Show Saturdays where we worked the phones in Tacoma while everybody else was down in Portland setting up.... a wise choice of duties. I think we managed to answer a couple of calls between cracking each other up with our various war stories.
I remember the first time you brought some of your cheesecakes to work. You had offhandedly mentioned that you did some baking. That wasn't baking. They were works of art.
I loved it when you'd get excited about decorating your house for Halloween. I was so glad when I finally came over to see your handiwork in 2022. You had said "Ahhhh...I only felt like putting up a few things this year". Your "Putting up a few things" is equal to everybody else's "Lets plan and put up this incredibly elaborate display", I don't think anybody will ever equal your enthusiasm and "Just-a-big-kid" glee when it came to your yearly Halloween display.
When we worked together, I went through some rough patched in life. You were always the first to offer help and a sympathetic ear. I will always appreciate and thank you for being there. (for me and all of the rest of us going through rough times at PW).
I'm gonna miss the hell out of you, but I will never forget you, Bob.
