Donna and extended family -- We are sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way at this tough time. Bob was a helluva guy and left many great memories for all of us. Gary really enjoyed working with Bob at CSB and being on the advisory board of Capital City Bank when he was there. Of course, there are many fun times he had with Bob as a member of the Salt Shakers. Kindest personal regards -- Gary & Paulette
Donna and Family, This saddens me to hear of this news, Bob worked for the title company in my building where I worked, was always so friendly and would always say good morning to start our day. he was a wonderful and thoughtful man, may he Rest In Peace! Love you Bob!
Donna, and family, I wanted to make it up tonight to come give my condolences, but I'm not able to make it. I'm heartbroken for the loss of Bob. He was the best! I can't think of a holiday where I didn't receive a call wishing me a happy,whatever day it was. I cherish the friendship that was made over the years with you both. I will always remember him fondly. Amber, with Cruise and Travel
Didn't know Bob well, but we waved as neighbors. He lived just up the street. Always appreciated his positive comments and thought him to be a good neighbor. Will miss his presence walking up and down he sidewalk. Sincerely, Jerry & Annette Clayton
I had the pleasure of working at Capital City Bank in the 90's. Bob was a firecracker. One would recognize when he would enter the room because he brought a lot of sunshine, a smile that went on forever and always wanted to make folks laugh. God bless all of your loved ones that you have left behind, and may they find peace and comfort and all your treasured memories.
In Loving Memory
