So many memories playing together as kids and growing up together within the warm embrace of the same happy extended family - a faithful and treasured cousin throughout life. I hope you are somewhere now enjoying the rewards of a life well lived.

For about 50 years I was lucky enough to have Bob for a friend. I will miss his smile and good humor.
To his family, my heart goes out to you on your loss. All my love to you.
