To all the family, our deepest sympathy. So very sad. Harry and Ann Gleason
We are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He and the boys helped us with our house more times than I can count, and we valued his ideas, his work ethic and his friendship! He will be missed as I have often thought that I could just get Bob to fix whatever it was that came up or wondered how he'd go about some concern.
Sharon, All my love…..You are in my prayers. I Love You !!! The world could not ask for a better neighbor, Bob helped me with every problem or question I ever had. He will be missed by all !! Mary Ann
So sorry to hear of Bobs passing. He was a good guy. Will miss his wave & smile when passing him on the road while out and about… and without fail we'd always pass him no matter the time of day. Will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
So very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Really good guy – will miss seeing him around town – used to bump into him quite frequently. RIP.
So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We were childhood friends and grew up together in North Madison. RIP.
So very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. We will miss his phone calls and impromptu visits. Our condolences to all of his family and friends.
Sharon, you most likely don't know me. Bob and I grew up together in North Madison and were best of friends along with two other guys. We called ourselves the Four H's. All of our last names began with the letter “H”. Bob and I hunted and fished together, we golfed together and worked together starting at the Madison Country Club. I was involved with the two spec homes Bob built in the 1970's. I could go on and on with my memories but won't. I'll finish by saying how very sorry I am for your loss, I wish you and your family healing and happy memories of Bob. Life is so very short and precious.
