I would love to tell the family what a joy it was going into our local Speedway and seeing him and him and his positive attitude. We talked about his son and myself being in the office furniture installation field. I had a severe back injury during the time I had met him and he talked about his to me very sincerely He would Always be the one to say if but but short on paying I got it. Never asking to pay it back this was never myself but others in the store that were struggling a little bit. Bless him and his wife and family as this little town n this big tooo busy world. If this world there were more people like BOB it would b a much better place to LIVE. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY. couldn’t make services I hope his family sees this that’s how much his positivity affected me.
