Dollie, Staci, Shari & Rob, We are so sorry, and heart-broken here in Lake St Louis, to hear about your Dad. He was always a most kind and gentle man, he always had our backs, and has been such a close and good life-long friend. All our love is with you all, and your whole family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. ~ The Szalanski's ~ Don, Ruth, Pam & David

Dollie and Family.... My sincere sympathy and condolence on the loss of Bob. I know how much he meant to you as a husband and father, but he was also a special friend to many of us who worked with him and knew him. We spent many long hours working together with retailers across the country and he was always ready to help. He was a man of integrity....and I will always think of him in that regard. I will miss our frequent phone conversations since retirement as well as our trading birthday cards...mine being December 17 and his December 18. Tom Kwasny
