My condolence to the family. I met at Bob when I came to Kenosha for a job interview as a media specialist at Reuther Alternative High School. He and Andréa interviewed and hired me and I developed a friendship which lasted over 40 years.Bob was an upbeat witty guy who loved family, his job at the library, tea, popcorn and cartooning, creating and presenting character, sketches and his own holiday cards.I know from the many comments from people in the Kenosha community about his illness and passing on my Facebook page that he also touched many people lives as he did mine and he will be missed.

Bob, you were a great support to everyone that you met. The teen parents, the students in your cartooning class at the museum and coworkers. Your faith and Christian values showed in your day to day work. You made the world a better place. Thank you. Sue and George Dugan
