Very sorry to hear that Bob had passed away. He gave me my first full time job cutting wood for the charcoal plant in Custer city. He also may have saved my life one time when we were clearing a rodline rightaway on his lease and I got into a large nest of Yellowjackets and had over 50 hanging on me trying to sting. I ran to where Bob was and he swatted them with his hat. I still had over 10 stings. I''m sorry I won''t be able to attend the service since I will be out of town. Bob was a good man with a gentle heart.
