Praying for your family. Mr Bob was always so so kind to my son when we would come to WalMart he will be missed.
Bob was one of the sweetest men you could meet. He was always friendly and spoke to us when we shopped. Will miss his smilling face. Heaven has gained a great person.

I didn’t know Bob personally but have had him speak to me at Walmart and check out my groceries. He was very nice and I always appreciated his courtesy. I am so sorry to the family.
Prayers for your family. I will miss his sweet smile and kind hello.
I’m very sad to learn of Bob’s passing. I’ve worked at the Hough Rd. Supercenter for four years, and every time that Bob and I saw each other at either store, we had a pleasant conversation. We spoke only a very few days ago while he was at work. He’ll certainly be greatly missed.
Bob made an impact on everyone he encountered. He was a sweet man! I wish I could’ve seen him more recently. He was and is so loved by so many. He touched so many lives and he will forever be missed. I’m so lucky to have been able to meet and work with him when I did. My condolences to the family in these hard times.
Bob left an impression on you the moment you met him. I hired on with him in 2016 at Walmart. He was always smiling and sharing stories. Bob was a very kind and compassionate man. He will be greatly missed. Sending prayers up for his family.
Ariel we are so sorry for your loss.
Mr. Bob was a fine man and I know that he will be missed greatly.
If there is anything at all that we can do for you and your family, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
I didn’t formally know Bob but he was so nice and friendly as a greeter at Walmart. He brightened my day with his smile. I’m sorry for the loss of Bob and will be praying for his family.
I only knew Bob from my visits to Walmart, but he was the perfect greeter…always friendly and smiling. He will be greatly missed.
