I always enjoyed getting together with Bob and Joanne when in town Glen Ellyn. he was always so personable and interested in our family and lives . He had a great sense of humor, such a fun spirit and a pleasure to be around. his eyes would light up around his family, you could just see his sense of pride in them and his strong love for family. he will be missed.
