I feel blessed and lucky to have had a lot of great bosses and mentors in my life, but none were more important or impactful than Bob Tennant. Theresa and I moved to Tulsa just a few months after being married and a few days from grad school. The first person that showed up as we were moving into our apartment was Bob, with a handful of coffees just to check on us and welcome us. He also had with him a station wagon full of dogs. From that point, Bob became my adopted father for the next two years. He and Lynn opened up their home to us, helped us enjoy our first meal in our first home that we eventually bought in Tulsa and visited Theresa and I when Riley was born in St Francis, just before transferring to Louisville. I will never forget the many life lessons, all which my kids are now very familiar and amazing way Bob could chew you out and build you up at the same time. Even in death, Bob remains a person I never want to disappoint. Stacey and Chris, our thoughts are with you and your families. Bob will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.
I first met Bob when I worked at a refinery in Mobile, AL in the mid 70s. His easy going and honest manner put everyone at ease. It was a real pleasure to have known him.
Bob was one of the first people in the NGL industry that I met and was a good friend and mentor. He will be sorely missed by everyone he came into contact with.
Bob was a real mentor to me in the NGL business, and was a class act, he will be missed by many of us who came in contact with him.
