I was a member of MFVFD a few years back...Bob joined shortly after I did. One thing I always remember about Bob is his energy and level of dedication. Here's a guy who, in his early 60's, decides to join his local Volunteer Fire Department, volunteer his time, and deal with alot of us "snotnosed" kids. Bob didn't stop with just joining up...I remember seeing Bob on some of those late-night calls, or standing out there in some truly horrible weather as a member of the Fire Police. Every year, when Fire Prevention week came around, there was Bob, volunteering his time for most (if not all) of the daytime visits and presentations. Bob was always one of those guys who you'd see around the firehouse, and he always seemed to be cheerful, always made it a point to say hello.

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob, his family, and his "extended family" at the Falls...
