Bob was a great guy. He and my dad (Paul Turner) where great friends. I don’t know if he told you about the time he took my dad fishing in a boat.my dad fell into the lake . I don’t know if Bob took him back out, again. True story
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. So sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. It was such a pleasure meeting him & getting to know him. He was so kind & had some interesting stories. My sympathies.
To the Fijalkowski family…so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob at IH Shadyside (Navistar) and always thought he was a really nice, intelligent guy. I see a lot of his traits in Mark as I’ve got to know him in the athletic world in Shadyside.
Sympathy, Love and Prayers to all Bob’s family.
Sorry for your loss Fij. Prayers to you and your family.

Sorry for you loss fig, My thoughts are with you and your family.
We are saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bob will be missed. Growing up with the Filjakowski family in Neffs has rekindled many memories of the great conversations that Bob and I discussed and solved all the worlds problems “ according to Bob “. The evenings when he would stop by our house and visit while he made his rounds along Belmont Street. For the family May the pain of his passsing be short and soon replaced by the memories of his life. May the fishing in heaven be the best waters you have traveled. RIP my friend!
