A truly great-person is now gone
Bob was an exceptionally caring and polite person. Though he was truly a star athlete, he never seemed to feel he was better than anyone. He will be missed by Holmes group because he was such a great father, husband and person. My prayers are with Bob’s family as they are forced to move ahead without him.
