My sincere sympathy in the loss of your beloved Bob. Bob was such a dynamic, caring and giving person; and one of the key people we could always turn to when an ESD question or procedure needed to be answered. He always had time for anyone.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. God Bless.
