He is also survived by his two furry friends, Allie and Bella.
A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, August 4th at 11:00am at Red Mountain United Methodist Church which is located at 2936 N Power Rd, Mesa. Donations may be made to Red Mountain United Methodist Church, St Judes, an animal rescue charity or a charity or your choice in his honor.
Praying for all of you! Love you all!
Oh my gosh. I can’t find words at the moment to express myself. Our families go way back here in Ohio. I really need to speak with someone in the family. So very sorry.
Peace be with you all

I only now just learned about this. Bob was a very good friend to me back during our days at Motorola, he was so funny and a joy to work with. I’m so sorry for your loss. I always missed him after I went over to Semiconductor but we remained in contact by sending jokes back and forth. I went through a rough period and Bob was a true friend to me back in the early 90s.
