    My condolences to Bob’s family. I worked with Bob at Sabroske Electric for several years & was inspired by his work ethic.

    To Bob’s Family:

    I just recently found out about Bob’s passing. I’m very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob as a apprentice in 1984 at the Turnpike Plaza for Advantage Electric. I never forgot about him.

    Bob was a good man, underneath that gruff exterior. He taught me how to be a tradesman and take pride in my work. After 30+ years in the trade, I’ve become an old electrician, just as he was back then.

    We would go ’round and ’round about who was better back in the day: Michigan or Ohio State. He was a big time OSU fan and I had season tickets to U of M. One time he wrote “GO BUCKS!” on my lunch pail as a prank. I told him I’d get him back, and I did! The Friday before the Big Game I hung a cardboard sign on the back of his pickup that said “M GO BLUE”.

    That Monday he said, “You got me a good one, kid! I couldn’t figure why people we’re honking their horns and flipping me off til the next morning, when I found your sign!”

    I still tell people that story.

    Again, my condolences.
