Bob, Paul, and Diane,
Sorry for the loss of your dad. When I used to hang out with Bob when we were, say, between 12 and 14, I remember playing in the basement while your dad was doing woodworking, et cetera. He never said very much to me then, though I had a respect for him that I reserved for dads in general. He seemed like a strong-minded man, like a dad should be. Within the last 15 years, I would call your mom's house for Bob, and if your dad answered, I would have very pleasant conversations with him. You are all in my thoughts.
