I met Bob in 2007 when I bought a house across from him Bob and Mary came over to introduce themselves and to welcome me to the neighborhood. I grew a bond with them immediately. He was already retired and always traveled down south during the Olean winter months. He always had wonderful stories to share about his life experiences. He was always ready to help out when the need was there and without hestitation. He spoke what was on his mind for sure. Always had a smile. Always made me feel welcome when I stopped by to chat with him. I will miss you my dear friend more than you know. I send my condolences to all his loved ones. You are now at peace my dear friend. You left just as you wanted. Until we meet again.

Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Will miss seeing him at some of Ide get togethers we had in Almond.
Take care. My mother was a cousin.
