Bob made NC a much better place. All who knew him have lost not only a friend but a true inspiration. I hope he is riding the heavens in his little sports car with the top down. A job well done my friend, may you rest in peace.

Not enough time nor words to describe a truly caring individual as Bob. I met Bob under not the best of circumstances (for myself). He helped me through more than one very trying time over the past two decades. Years would go by, and I'd call Bob from Florida, and it was just as if I just left speaking with him. He never forgot a name. Always respectful of good or bad situations, he laid it on the line and talked straight. As an attorney...as I knew him best, he was the utmost professional. As a friend...you couldn't ask for anyone better. His intestinal fortiude will never be matched. Since the day I stepped into Bob's office many years ago, he was truly instrumental in assisting me in changing my life. He never dwelled in the past, only moved forward. He was always someone I could look up to, yet at the same tme..be right on my level. May the Lord Bless You Bob...You will never be forgotten. My prayers and thoughts are with his family. Bob will always be there looking over and keeping all in check. Goodbye my friend.......

Bob was a great person. When I saw him he always had a smile on his face. When I went thru a very difficult period in my life, he was always uplifting when I saw him offering up a greeting and a great smile. We will keep his family in our prayers. But they should be encouraged that he continues to live on. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

He will be greatly missed, as will his wonderful sense of humor, way with a story, and ability to quell disputes with a well-timed joke.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Consider it an honor...spelling it with 3 Ks HONORs the democrackkk heritage as the ORIGINAL 'party' of SLAVERY, as they continue to ENSLAVE us daily, especially in NC!!!

Insert the "I will when he will". When someone spends every comment comparing me and my party to the KKK its deeply offensive, not just because I am jewish. So until FFC is banned, I will continue to insult if its justified. And his lies justify it.

Keep it civil

lefaim, you are speaking Latin to a pig.

You're talking about facts, neocons don't believe in facts, just truthiness.

Keep it up FFC, keep lying through your teeth, only God will judge you for being a liar.

Re: Who voted 'no?'

You are an idiot.

8 people voted against this bill in the house. Jones was the only one in the senate (with the pairing.

That means of the NINE people who voted against the veto override, ALL NINE were Democrats. Zero. Let me repeat. ZERO Republicans voted against the veto override. Oh, and the bill was initially vetoed by Mike Easley, a Democratic Governor who you have repeatedly lampooned.

You are a fool.

WHY is this bill the one that gets attention when SO many other issues are WAY more important? Just goes to show ya the mentality of democrackkk crooks...somebody needs a payoff here...I suspect its Sleazely.

What a mess! We weren't sure who to blame until Lt. Governor Perdue said in the WTVD debate that she has been the "#1 leader in healthcare for North Caroina." Great leadership, Lt. Governor Perdue.

Thank GOD there were STATE GUIDELINES to be followed...what WOULD we do without government guidelines and mandates to ENSLAVE us?

Do legislative staffers with children get their own nurseries too or is that only reserved for elected officials?
