To all Bob’s family,
I served for and with Bob while I was a supply sergeant in Miles City. We did a lot of training together and he always made sure he helped us new supply sergeants help our soldiers. I echo Charlie Mueller’s sentiments and Bob served his country well. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
