Rob, Kim & Brad – During our younger days we never thought this day would come. A lot of these days are coming now. Makes me sad, mad and confused about whats been happening the last few years. Our parents were the best any kid could ever ask for. I miss your Dad a lot. We will all be together again. You have my prayers. Mark Gaskill
My day has been saddened finding out that "Carney" has passed away. He knew me from the day I was born and I'm 68 now. I live in Oregon but he has been on my mind a lot lately and now I know why. Seemed he was always in a good mood whenever I was around him and brightened up the world. In reading some of the tributes below, I had forgotten how he always called everyone "Babe". What a man . . . . . I will miss him. I know his family will have many wonderful memories to cherish.

Bob and I worked together at Preferred. What an absolute peach he was! More than once, Bob's kind words and positive outlook turned my day around. It just seemed impossible to keep a bad mood going while he was around. No matter how busy Bob was, he always had time to stop what he was doing and listen to whatever sales challenge I was encountering. After listening, he would say, "Hey Babe, why don't you try this…". (I am a man, but he always used the term "Babe" like one teammate would to another). His advice was always spot on. Bob lived a long full life full of love. I know his family will be able to celebrate his life for the rest of their lives. A wonderful man indeed! Sincerely, Lee Durdin
I met Bob through my sister, Paula Leigh, who worked with Bob for many years at Preferred Office Products. Bob was a sweet soul, with a wonderful smile, and such a gentleman! I was blessed that he touched my life. My sympathy to his family and many friends… Carolyn Browning

Rob, Kim, and Brad, Your father had a kind heart and gentle graciousness that poured into every encounter with him. I shall never forget his acceptance, thoughtfulness, and love that he should me.
