Rob contacted me about Bob’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I know he and my Dad were friends for many years and it meant so much that he stopped by to see Dad when he was ill,Bob was just a good guy! I have many memories of your family that bring a smile to my face. Your many memories, while they may bring a tear now as you deal with this huge loss, will be a source of comfort and bring smiles to your faces in time. Love to you all, Mary Beth
