Bob personified the spirit of volunteerism. His response to any greeting was always “MaGnificent”. this one word embodied Bob’s attitude towards his community, his family and friends. Personal hardship taught him to seek out those who were hurting, giving them unconditional love and support. united Way benefited from his wisdom. the many different roles through which Bob served our community encompassed the total united Way mission. He will live on in our hearts – he truly made a difference. those who receive this award will represent and continue his spirit through their united Way volunteerism.
