Bob, a great neighbor and friend, always kind words and encouragement, enjoyed his friends and family. Always a great smile, especially when on his bike and that was whenever the weather was halfway decent. I will miss him. May God bless you Paulette, call anytime.

The greatest guy to ever work with and for! He was a crazy, funny, unique person and loved by many, myself included. I’m sure he rode to meet Jesus in a blaze of glory! Lookout Heaven, Bob’s in town now! He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

I met Bob at Doc’s and he always treated me like we knew each other all of our lives. He liked to come in and hang out with the Doc’s family. Since we were both Italian, I called him cuz and he responded the same to me. Our Lord has brought my cuz home. Rest in peace Bob!

Dear Paulette, Kirk, Monica, Beth, Stephanie and family,
Marie and I are deeply saddened at the news of the loss of Bob. He was always so very kind to us. Welcoming us as a part of his own family in our friendship to his children when we were younger. And in a personal, always joyful relationship with him as adults. Bob and I took several rides on the Harley’s together through the years. We enjoyed many visits and celebrations at Doc’s. But the attribute that impressed us most was his devout conviction as a Maronite Catholic and his support of Saint Raymond’s Church and Parish Community. Bob was a living testimonial of how to live our faith. He always spoke of his children and how very proud he was of each of you. Paulette, we have asked our beloved Mother Marie and Father George to welcome Bob with open arms and loving hearts into God’s Kingdom. An invitation Bob richly deserves. Each of you remain in our prayers. We are deeply sorry for your loss. Yet greatly blessed to have known Bob and to call him our Friend in the Faith. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort all of you as he opens Heaven’s Gate for Bob.

Bob was such a talented, amazing, and cool guy! Not only was he my hair stylist for 30+ years, he was a dear family friend. Bob will be greatly missed by many. Our deepest sympathy to his wonderful family.

My Godfather. My father’s good friend. I only ever thought of you, Bob, as larger than life and what wonderful children you have and wonderful wife – ALL nothing but kind to me and my family.
The late nights eating Kibbe I have heard and a favorite food of mine because of you and Paulette and how your home’s door was always open.
We will all miss you and remember all fond memories. Phil

Saddened to read that Bob has passed. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends. I always called him my friend. He was just a great hairstylist and he worked wonders on my hair for 30+ years. And I would meet him a few times riding in Waterloo, IL area. RIP Bob.

I’m so sad for Paulette and all of the Risha family over the loss of such a wonderful guy. Bob was a magician with my hair for 30 years. He was upbeat, fun and funny, and I will miss you my friend.

Bob and I were friends since 1980. He cut my hair but he was much more than a hair stylist. He was a person you could always count on for good advice and a kind word. I join the multitude of people who will miss him.
