Bob Minkler lived his life with great enjoyment and never took the little things for granted. He took pride in his work and was a caring man who treated people with respect and consideration. “Bob was a special man,” says his widow, Ellie. “He lived his life with high standards whether it was the way he was romantic with me, how he cared for friends and family or his dedicated approach to his work. If Bob could give one message to a student receiving this entrance award,” says Ellie, “it would be to enjoy your life and your job, keep high standards and never take the everyday things for granted.”
