Linda and Family: My heart goes out to all of you at the loss of Bob. I have so many fond memories of Bob when we worked together at IBM Endicott Purchasing Dept. Bob, was so genuine, so honest, so dependable and so open. He was a dedicated employee always giving his best. A wonderful person to talk to, discuss things, always w a willing smile. I have not seen Bob for many years unfortunately but I believe he enjoyed his time in retirement w his family. Linda, having worked with you many years ago at IBM, I realize that Bob and you were as one in marriage. May those memories be your treasures to help you in the time ahead, Joe Zvolensky

Dear Linda and Family, it breaks my heart to read of Bob's passing. He was such a wonderful man and such a help to me when we worked in Purchasing. I could always go to him and find the answer I needed to a question or problem. A true professional in every sense of the word and one we all respected and admired. I remember when he'd leave the office for the night and you'd say that you'll see him tomorrow he'd always respond with: "The Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise". Every time I hear someone say that, I think fondly of him. I can only imagine how wonderful a husband, father and grandfather he was. I also see from his obituary that he was a Veteran. True to form, a patriot also. I know words can provide little comfort at this time but hope you and your family can find comfort in your many wonderful memories and in knowing that others share in your sorrow. May God bless you and your family and help you through in this time of deep sorrow. Fondly, Renee Stewart

Dear Linda and Family .. We are so very sorry to read about Bob's passing. He was one of my favorite people at IBM. His dry sense of humor always made me laugh. My favorite memory of him was the day he retired from IBM. He grabbed my arm and we skipped down an aisle in Building 40. It was hilarious. So very uncharacteristic of him since he was the ultimate professional. May wonderful memories of Bob fill your hearts and remove your sadness. We're keeping you all in our prayers. May he forever rest in Peace.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
