Knowing Bob Marcom was a delight. Being Bob's friend was a privilege. Working with Bob was always cooperative, instructional and beneficial to our common interests. Many others will truly miss him as I do; but I will always remember our time together and the many wonderful things Bob Marcom contributed to our community and our lives. God bless us all.
My time with Bob is remembering his smile and quick laugh. From the first days in tennis to having to call him with the repairs to his Suburban. Bob always took the time to help me understand his thoughts on each situation we were involved with. It was Bob who gave me the guidance and lessons to be able to edit and produce the Softball News. Without his efforts and patience our club would never have this great resource. Thank you Bob may you rest in peace
Bob has a special place in our hearts. We purchased Main Street Marketplace in Waupaca from Bob 29 years ago. He got us started on a good path and was a kind and honest man to deal with. Our condolences to his family.
