I've known Bob longer than anyone in your family (except Eleanor). I remember him from GHS. He was always happy and enjoying a good joke. What a super guy. I'll miss seeing him. My sincere sympathy goes out to all of your family at this time. Carolyn: Remember those many pizza nights the Sorensen's had at Eddie's after a U of M game? Bob always had some "wise" comment about the game and he made us laugh.

I was fortunate to visit with Bob at our 50th HS reunion. We had a long discussion about our summers where the gang of guys played baseball almost from sun-up to sunset. My condolences go out to the family.
