I was so saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. I knew Bob for almost 25 years. He was always the first phone call when there was an issue with the AS400 or a tweak to make things even better. If it could be done on the AS400, BOB KNEW HOW TO DO IT! He was curious, creative, helpful and kind, and always made himself available. PCA will miss Bob’s knowledge and ability, and those of us who were fortunate to know him, will miss the person Bob was, his smile and dry sense of humor. Marilyn P.
