So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. When we were in junior high Bob took me as a guest to Overbrook Pool many many times. Those are some of the best memories of my growing up. I will never forget his kindness. Godspeed to my old friend, and my most sincere condolences to his family.

Bonnie,
I only have mostly high school memories of Bob as someone I looked up to and admired. Hell of a basketball player and fun to be around.
Very sorry for your loss.

We send our deepest sympathy and prayers. We remember sitting with Bob and Bonnie at The Rocking Horse Center earlier this year after all of us had received our vaccines and just talking about life, grandchildren and things in general. We are thankful for that time. May God Bless Bob´s Soul.
