I have used Bob's products since I was a young woman, and today I have several of the company's products on my pantry shelves! Although younger than Bob (75 years old), he's been apart of my life for decades. Thank you, Bob and Charlee, for all these wonderful products through so many years!!

RIP Bob. I hope whoever takes over the company continues your legacy of good quality.

Wow... I didn't realize that he was still a live. I purchase his products in Atlanta. I'm glad that I use them. If I live to be 94 years old I hope that I look and feel as healthy as he does. ❤ He knew how to celebrate 🎉 life. ❤❤❤

What a wonderful person and an inspiration. Amazing that in his generosity he would gift the company to his employees. I purchase Bob's Mill products here in Canada and appreciate that I can trust the product to accurately list ingredients. I have an anaphylactic reaction to sesame and I totally trust Bob's products. Rest in peace with your beloved wife.

I’ll tell you all the people that work for him are truly blessed that’s because they are gods children! I just pray the same thing doesn’t happen to them that happened to Walmart! I hope your products do not change, and I hope they don’t compromise on their products.

[@BigBrothaAlmighty]

I use to work there and they fired me for no reason

[@hailutahistan3680]

I don't mean to be rude or disrespect the man, but kptv, you are a news station. So why are you injecting religious fantasy into a news story by saying that he is being reunited with his late wife?

[@journeybrook9357]

Because that is what he believed in an interview of his.Its respectful. Now maybe you don't believe or prefer a different belief. But no where does it say separation of respect from news reporting.

[@Randy58-zn4ez]

I agree because comments like that normalize religious cults for which there is no evidence of truth. Religion makes people delusional just look at the Evangelical White Nationalist who support Trump.

[@fredericksonnenskog4511]

You're a typical Portland Leftist faux-intellectual that has low intelligence then spends every opportunity available clutching for ideological straws to inject tangentially-related low-intellect commentary.

[@ayseeef]

I mean, it IS Fox News ... they are religious nuts.

[@fredericksonnenskog4511]

My only question is "Why not leave the company to your family instead of a bunch of strangers(employees)?" I don't like Bob as much now that I'm aware of this horrible betrayal to his offspring & descendants.

[@heatherkaye8653]

Employee owned businesses are capable of keeping cost much lower. I'm sure his family has plenty and is doing well financially. It was a decision he made 13 years ago. Ultimately though, is this any of your business?

[@L.Spencer]

I had the opposite reaction, my respect grew for him.

[@Lois-o1f]

Fred, give Bob and all his fans a break please 😊

[@tornmien]

This guy was rude to his employees.

[@carolyearsley]

He seemed forthright, which seems rude to some people who aren't that way.

[@cmoberg2036]

I met him once He was rude and disappointing .

[@journeybrook9357]

Once is not enough to measure a man or woman. We all have our days, moments.

[@carolyearsley]

Maybe his style of interacting with others came across as rude, if your style is different.

Nope I worked with him at a public event..he was very offputting
