To The Watts Family, So sorry we can't be with you but we are there in spirit. Bob was so special to our family. He will be missed. RIP With Love, The Hilliard Family Pittsburgh, PA
I worked with Bob for many years at General Motors and a finer man there may not be. He was always so happy with that big laugh and those crazy cigars he always had in his mouth. He will be greatly missed by all his many friends. Prayers for the family on their painful loss.
