Bob Niesse was a simple man. Not ostentatious not showy but a simple down to earth good man. Although I did not see him that frequently we did get together at family functions and we seem to just pick it up where we left off.

We would look at our family as they grew and Bob would always say Jarret is a good man he'll always do the right thing. Jarret, Bob loved you. He was always proud of you and he was right. You've always done the right thing by everybody.

Bob will be missed, but his memory not forgotten. He was a simple man , a good man and someone I was always proud to call a friend.

We will miss you Bob. God bless.

Met Bob on our annual canoe trips to the Wildcat Creek near W Lafayette. Then we would hang around the various watering holes on the north side. Always an interesting time. RIP.
