My condolences go out to the family. I used to live across the street from Bob and Mariyln and my kids used to love to go over to bob's because of all the "cool stuff" mr shavalier had in his yard... Very friendly and a very nice person to have had the pleasure of knowing.. May you rest in God's Land and that great big salvage yard in the sky.. You will be missed by many!
Marilyn & Darwin,
I was very saddened to hear about your Bob's passing. tour family are in my thoughts.
Big Shav, the big man called you home, he must have a pretty important engine in the works and needs the best to finish it. You have been and will always be my best buddy in the salvage business. I will always have the "Big Shav" power in my heart if no where else, thanks to you. My life has been and will always be better for having known you for over 30 years. May god bless you and rest in peace now buddy, the pain is gone, I will see you again one day. "The Beef", Randy Whipple, Randy's Auto Salvage

Papa was a very special person...always willing to help! I remember a time about 10 years ago we were coming home from Muskegon and found a fellow on Sternberg just west of Hilton Park Rd. He had a flat tire and no spare...9 o'clock at night, we told him we'd get some help. We went to Shavalier's auto parts. Papa came to the door of the house and upon hearing of the man's situation, immediately gave us a tire and wouldn't take any $$$ . Told his to tell the man "play it forward" do a good deed when you have the opportunity! God bless you Papa, Heaven received a special angel Friday night! Love, Grandma Kate Jablonski
Sorry to hear of your loss, our thoughts are with you. Ron & Rena Bruckner
