My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Bob and I got to know each other very well while I covered the Springfield market for a short time at GT Midwest. He was always willing to help teach the trade and talk about hunting, his customer relationships he had and especially his family. He took great pride in his business relationships he had made over the years. Will be missed.
