It was a great honor to know Bob and work alongside him. He was truly one of a kind and possessed a heart of gold. Bob was a fixture in the HVAC community and his knowledge was infinite. I enjoyed our talks about the industry, sports, politics and everything in between. He will be missed by us all. See you on the counter in the sky Bob!

All, Bob was a super guy. I enjoyed talking with him with each visit or phone call. He is now with his beloved wife, and that is a consolation i enjoy recognizing. Best to all.

I had the great pleasure of working with Bob and getting to know him these past couple of years. He was a huge part of the Norfolk team and I will surely miss him and his wonderful personality!

Lucy, I was shocked beyond belief when Jason called and notified me that your Dad had passed away. Bob and I had been friends for 51 years and he was my “go to” guy at R E Michel Company all those years. Not only did he know the HVAC business inside out but his knowledge of History, sports and other world events was unbelievable. Your Dad was like a brother to me and will be forever missed. May he Rest In Peace!

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
