Bob was truly a dear friend that we had the pleasure of knowing for too short of a period of time. We will forever cherish the conversations and good times we had together, especially dinner and ice cream nights. Playing golf with Bob was especially relaxing and rewarding, and elevated my game to a higher level. My golf game will never be the same. His one of a kind friendship will be truly missed.

Jay and I moved next door and we had an instant connection with our families. We went on many vacations together and the memories will keep him close to our hearts. In later years, we both left Ohio, but will never forget the love we had for each other. Our prayers and love to the family.

For Chris and family, We are so very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. We loved having him as our neighbor. He was always kind to us from the day we moved to USC & so generous with his time and knowledge. His laugh was contagious and his smile so comforting. We will be thinking of you all and praying for you. Love, Maureen and Jerry Huelsenbeck
