So sad to hear about Bob. He was one of my favorite guys in the business. I loved my time in Baltimore and looked forward to catching up with him every year at the Distributor Conference. Seems like only yesterday we where talking beer, Orioles and college sports in his office with his trademark cigar hanging from his lips. I think Bob secretly wanted to go to UW and be a Badger. I will miss him a lot, my thoughts are with the Footlick ladies as you celebrate Bob's great life this week!

The Beer Industry got weaker yesterday with the loss of Bob Footlick. A leader, innovator, and a risk-taker. No matter who you were, Bob treated you as he knew you forever, and always wanted to hear how the business was going in your eyes.
Whether it was being the 1st Coors distributor east of the Mississippi, or the man who created the most successful Orioles giveaway item, "The Floppy Hat", Bob shaped the Beer business in Maryland.
He once told me, other than my family, all I think about from the time I wake up til the time I go to sleep, is how to sell more beer.
That's a passion we all should share.

Dear Mrs. Footlick, Randi, Leslie and family, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Footlick. Our Bond family will not be the same without him. He was cut from a different cloth. Aside from being a legend in the beer business, he was extremely humble, kind, genuine and giving. He made every person who came through the doors of Bond Distributing feel welcome and appreciated. He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the honor of knowing him. Mr. Footlick was an amazing man! His legacy will live on forever in our hearts!

My deepest sympathy on your loss. I can't begin to express how sad and empty I feel about the loss of Mr. Footlick. His understanding with any problems you came to him with was always comforting. It won't be the same not greeting him, shaking his hand, and asking him how things were going, and him calling me Ricky when seeing him at the office. I respected him tremendously !

Bob was a friend from law school many years ago. He was a wonderful guy always full of interesting stories about his life which he was eager to share. I remember him talking very fondly of Ronnie (no kids at that point). I was glad to have shared some time with him when I moved to Baltimore. I will miss him.
Lou Malinow
Jun 17, 2015 05:51 PM
My staff and I are going to miss him SO MUCH. He was such a perfect mixture of charmer, storyteller, and comedian. I'm so honored to have known him. Something that I'll always remember is that Bob never addressed me formally as Dr. (which I really appreciated).......he always addressed me as "friend." We loved him.

My first job out of college was working for Bond, I was nervous about the interview with Mr. Foot lick and wore my new blue suit. He offered me the job and asked where I was going all dressed up after the interview. I loved working for him, he always had an open door to his office, and reminded me of a loving father especially after my first fender bender in the Bond car. Whenever I smell a good cigar it brings back fond memories of him.

Bond IS Family.
And Mr. Footlick IS our patriarch.
These facts remain true today just as they did prior to Monday. That will not change. The entire family should feel proud knowing that you've bred a culture of love, loyalty, and success. This is no accident. It started at home and has extended into the workplace. Quite a remarkable thing. Our prayers go out to the entire family. Mr. Footlick will certainly be missed, but his legacy lives on in each of you. Thank you for allowing the entire Bond Distributing community to feel like we are part of your family. And here's to another 65 years!

Dear Family,
To lose an individual as Bob Footlick is not only a great loss to his family, but to all of us who knew him in any capacity, he leaves a void of a man who was everyone's friend.It was always a delight to be in his company. Bob was truly a gentleman's gentleman.He possessed that rare quality of being able to disagree with one without being disagreeable.We will miss miss him.
