Denise, I heard of Bob's passing last night. Interesting to note that I was thinking about him last week. When my father in law was alive, every Father's Day was a must for breakfast. I enjoyed my conversations with him and I respected his success! For you, Denise, how wonderful to have spent such time with another human being. Time will help. Cherish the memories! God bless.

Denise, I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing. I found Hayes Resort by chance 27 years ago and came back every year for 20 years after that. Bob provided me and my family with countless great memories! We also made new friends including you and Dawn. Bob entertained you even when you weren't talking to him. All you had to do was sit and listen! His stories and exaggerations never got old. I will miss him greatly.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Bob for a very long time. I even got married at Hayes because it's a very special place to me. I will miss his stories and jokes sitting at the bar. He was always willing to help out where ever he could. I considered him a dear friend and he will be truly missed.
