I worked at Codville from 1989 to 1997 and Bob is one of the people I will always remember. I'll never forget when he wore an "I Dream of Geanie" costume for halloween. My friend and I were referred to as the "2 sisty uglers" when he met us in the hall. His famous words at the end of the day when I would say "Good night Bob", were "God willing and the creek don't rise". Till we meet again. - Posted by: Cherie Millar (Blais) (Co-Worker) on: Jan 12, 2005
