Robert Sharkey, CPA and financial officer for our agency and its predecessors was a giant of a man physically, mentally, spiritually and in basic decent human terms. Known affectionately to us as "Sharkey", "Shark" or "Sharkman", Bob was as much a part of our family as he was to his wife, daughters, son and grandchildren. His loss hits us very hard and we will forever miss him.

Knowing that Bob has certainly gone to a better place only helps us to know that his reward for a splendid life has been realized. It does not help us, however, from being saddened by his passing.

By necessity, we have engaged a new CPA for our company who will do a very good job for us. With this, we are only substituting for Sharkey because he can never be replaced.

Bob Sharkey's very large presence is indelibly etched into this company's history and future forever.
