So sorry to hear about your loss. I will never forget all the great times we had when we were kids and grammi and pops would come and visit, I was always sure to be over staying with nikki so i could spend time with you guys. I am sorry I wasn't able to spend more time with him when I was down in florida last. I hope to see you all sometime this year maybe. Love you all.

Rose, It's been years since we were at your home in Wildwood. You may recall when we presented Dick Kline with his Army medals (I am the General) and afterward we came to your home for a "get-together." With that introduction out of the way; I remember Bob very well from his days at Clark and always had a great respect for him because he was always a gentleman of the highest order. My wife Andriette and I wish you and your family the very best during this time of mourning. Heartfelt condolences,
