I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Bob was a good man, a dear friend and fellow veteran. When my parents passed away within eight days of each other, Bob took care of their services. He made an extremely sad and difficult time for me and my family much easier. I never forgot how kind and good he was to all of us. My family's thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I know Bob is at home in a far better place and the angels are chuckling at his good sense of humor.
