Robert "Bob" Beck has been serving the Upper Keys as the
Mechanical & Plumbing Inspector for the past 20 years.
Both the contractors and homeowners respect him because
of his ability to work constructively with the public. Bob is
always available to answer questions and accommodate the
contractors' schedules. He has helped out in the Middle
and Lower Keys in the aftermath of storms and has always
volunteered his personal time whenever needed.
In 1988, when the Building Department received their first
computers, and again in 1999, he struggled to master this
"new" system and now can use it as well as any fifth
grader. Bob is always available to help out at the office
and works very well with the permitting staff. His regular
contributions of cakes, cookies and pies have gone a long
way in keeping up the sugar level of staff, for which they
are extremely grateful.
Bob has become an "institution" in the Upper Keys and we
hope he will continue for a long time to come.
