My baby brother I will miss you dearly. I know you were hoping for two years more but Dad and Mom wanted to hug you sooner. I will miss your unending humor and beautiful smile. Love you forever.
Your sister, Patti
Your humor and smiling face will be missed by so many. This is unbelievable to process. You have always been so positive and strong. Your personality and free spirit will not be forgotten. My heart goes out to you and your family words cannot express how saddened we are to learn of your loss.
Hey Bob,
We will miss you here at work. Your hammering on parts and other various sounds coming from your office as you worked on locks, your sense of humor joking with everyone with your crazy stories and experiences in life, the talks we had about various topics in your office. When I called you at home after hearing the news of your circumstances you sounded like you were doing well and had some hope, but none of us really know what the future holds. The last thing I said to you as you left the building here at OPH was “Jesus loves you!” I meant that, I hope you took that to heart. You now know more than any of us on how true that is. You will be missed, Bob.

Bob was our locksmith at OPH for the last 10 years. He genuinely cared about being a locksmith and was one of the best. Bob was an Army veteran in his younger days. Bob always had a smile on his face and a joke/story to tell. He really brightened up a room with his story telling and laughter. Bob loved a cold Hamm’s beer and enjoyed going to the casino. He truly loved life and all the experiences that went along with it. -Kurt Heideman & Steve Mikutowski
Bob you were such a pleasure to work with! You set a good example for others with your hard work ethic and positive attitude. You were patient, kind and a team player. I will miss you!
Sending Bob’s family and friends my sincere condolences. I had recently come to OPH from another facility and Bob was so helpful and kind, answering questions and following up on things with a smile. He is missed.

Bob had a way of making everyone smile and laugh at the start of a shift. I’ll never forget some of the stories he told. He will be missed. Wishing his family peace and comfort during this difficult time.
BOB YOU WERE LIKE MY BROTHER .. WE HAD NOT GOOD .. BUT GREAT TIMES TOGETHER .. IN MINNESOTA , MISSISSIPPPI .. TEXAS .. COLORADO .. I had fun keeping up with your movements .. you were a great person an very dear friend .. you will be missed greatly . Sorry the viking never won a superbowl for you . Rest in peace enjoy heaven my friend
Oh Bob, where do I start. You always had a smile, a joke and some wise comment to say when I would see you. I remember the day you asked me to come to the EDR as you had something for me. I came down and joined you for lunch and you asked if I had my cell phone locker key, I said yes why? You then said I will swap you keys. I said why are we swapping keys, you looked at me and said because everyone in the shop has watched you try to get your keys and cell phone out of your locker, and it looks like you are hanging yourself every time. So, you and a couple of the guys went and tried to figure out how tall I was and found me a locker more suitable for my height LOL. I will miss our lunches, our chats over coffee in the shop in the mornings, you laugh and sense of humor along with the many, many jokes you would tell. I will miss you being an intricate member of our OPH bowling and golf team. That will never be the same. Wishing your family and friends peace. I have many memories of you and will cherish them.
What a great light in this world. I enjoyed every story you ever told and to make you laugh was a gift. I felt privileged to learn a bit about locks from you on multiple occasions. I’ll never forget your laugh and your bright blue eyes. You will be greatly missed Bobber. Comfort, peace and love to your family.
My Precious Brother Bob, I’m going to miss you for the rest of my life. Me being the oldest and you the youngest I was 14 when you were born. Taking care of you I learned how to take care of my kids later on. We almost got kicked out of bingo for laughing so much, Thank you for those who enjoyed working with Bob
I am so thankful for getting to know you Bob. In the 45 years I have been working, I don’t think I met anybody I enjoyed working with more than you my friend. So gifted at making everyone around you happier. I will miss you greatly.
Bob – You were one of the kindest people I had ever known! You truly had a talent for turning someone’s bad day into a good one. Working with you at OPH was one of my fondest memories. You truly were a wonderful person and I always enjoyed the chats with you. I am sending so much love and prayers to your family during this difficult time.
