Sorry to learn of Bob's passing. I enjoyed his dry humor working with him - especially when we traveled to our customers. I still remember that horrible winter nite at the Fargo airport we flipped "his" coin to see who would clean the two feet of snow off the rental car in a minus forty below temperature. I still think he had a two headed coin. After I cleaned off and warmed up the car I drove back to the front of the aiport to pick up him and our luggage. There was Bob nice and warm in the terminal enjoying a beverage. There are many more tales I can pass on about the "Macho Man". After Perkins moved to Georgia I officially changed his name to "Diesel Dwag". I will always miss him as a friend, coworker and neighbor. Hit them straight up there!!!!!

He was proud of all of you . One of my best times I had with my brother was in 1995,when we as a team WON the CMC Retirees Golf League Championship. I still have the trophy in my office. So goodby my bro,keep your head down, maybe we will play golf again someday. EUGE

Our Uncle Bob was a very sweet and wonderful man that we will miss dearly. He was so
creative and talented with his engineering and wood working, but what always amazed
us was his stamina. He would drive through the worst snow storms to be with his kids
for the holidays,and if it wasn't at all possible, we would be blessed to have him with us
and we loved it! He would always love the dinners and that would warm my heart. The
last Christmas he was with us he gifted us with his beautiful hand made pens and letter
openers, also a spinning top for Dominic. These gifts will be cherished because our Uncle Bob took such care to make them. I can't say the many times we we're at his Lake
house to stay for the week-end,and to our joy he would be at the pool and swim with us.
That's our Uncle Bob, always right there enjoying LIFE and all his Families company, We
as a family will never be the same without him,he was that important and LOVED. I wish
I found out his secret on falling asleep so fast to get a second wind and finish enjoying
the party! Well, I cannot say enough about our uncle Bob because he was what we called our God Father. He Was the MAN. And the Coolest, Quietest,Dude on the planet!
This is so very hard right now, but I know he is Happy still with our other Beloved ones
in Heaven and they are full of JOY to have Him. Life is so short and that is my only
consolation to know I will see you soon , (by the pool) Uncle Bob!) Luv. Sylv, ( The Klemms)

Is this Bob Bodnar the one who sat behind me in the drafting room at Continental Motors in the 1960's? If it is my condolences to the family. Gerald Lafferty

Louie, I'm so sad and sorry to hear about Bob. He will be greatly missed. Our condolences to the rest of the family. I enjoyed being his golf partner for many years. I didn't see Bob very often but we stayed in touch through e mails. I wish we could be there but we are in Florida until April.
