Bob was a regular customer of ours at Fargo Liquidators. He always came in with a smile. So sorry for his family.
Bob was one of our favorites customers at the North Moorhead Holiday. He was always happy to see us, as much as we were happy to see him. He helped me through a tough situation at work, with kind words and many years of advice. He was such a kind man. We will remember him always at Holiday.
