MR BOB as i called him was a good friend and a good man he will be missed at kirks auto glad to have known him rest in peace JASON and JIM KIRK
Uncle Bob always went out of his way to come to Lowell to buy his auto parts from me for over 25 years. Even after I moved away in 2021 he still called me once a month just to catch up. Whenever I answered he’d always say “Is this Bill the great” which I truly got a kick out of. I just spoke to him at his birthday and we had a good chat as always. I’m saddened to hear we lost him and he will be missed. I’m sorry I can’t get back to indiana for the services but he will be in my heart and in my thoughts.
