Jack Lippold wrote a sympathy message

“So sorry to hear about Bob. He was a kind, generous soul and one of the funniest guys I knew. One of my favorite funny 'Bob moments' was at a scavenger hunt event at a gathering. One item that was requested was a crank. So Bob goes up to the event judge in a sort of mock tantrum. Why, yes, I guess that was a crank at that!”

You will be missed greatly by all that were blessed enough to know you. I am grateful to have been one of those people. Bless you Bob and may you rest in piece my friend.”
