Bob was one of my best friends. Together we had a lot of good times and bad. Prayers to pat, his brothers and kids.
Sending prayers and condolences to the family. He was a very nice and pleasant gentleman. I was also at Union Carbide/Dow Chemical for 34 years and knew him and his brother Gary, whom I worked with in the Electrical Group for a good period of time.
Gary… so sorry for the loss of your brother.
Remember Bobby and cars when he was very young. I knew brothers and have high regards for that family especially Laurie Kirkland Yates who treasures her Texas family very much. Much love to her and his brothers that I know RIP Bobby.
Thank You so much!!!!
