We received the following email from one of Bob's colleagues and thought you might enjoy it. She is also the supplier of the newly added slide show. Amy, thank you for your kind words and compliments. We're sure Bob will be touched and this will bring a smile to his face!
About Bob and the construction industry…..
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob about 8 years ago when I began my career with MITA (Masonry Industry Training Association). Bob is a huge advocate of the masonry industry and has been for many years. He is not only a great husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, he is the best mentor I have ever seen.
Bob has been in the industry for over 30 years. He was a teacher at the Laborers School in Anza and has worked for numerous contractors across California, including Winegardner Masonry. For the past 13 years he has been a masonry instructor for A.B. Miller High School in Fontana. He teaches students to do masonry, then I help them get jobs within the industry.
Every time I am in his classroom a former student, softball player, etc. comes there to visit him. He cares for these kids more than any teacher I have ever met. A lot of students' lives have been changed because of the positive influence Bob has embedded in their minds. He not only teaches them masonry, he teaches them life and job skills that will stay with them for an eternity.
Bob not only works during the school day, he is ALWAYS out begging for materials. He drives around in his truck picking up materials, even if he is on summer break. Anything Bob needs, Bob gets. The contractors and suppliers make sure of it.
He is always worried about others, never himself. I never hear him complain. He always has a smile on his face no matter how he feels. He is a gift whom we all are blessed to be around, and I am honored to call him a friend. Please pray for our dear friend whom we have all grown to love!
