My kids are I were so saddened to learn of Bob's death. He was there for us when my husband passed away 6 years ago. I have known Bob since the "Casey's" times, and John loved to fish with him on the canal. We had our home built back in 1985 through a builder we met from Village Realty at Casey's. I rarely go by Plum Hollow without thinking of Bob, and when he lived up the street he introduced me to Black Diamond steak. John played darts out of the pub. My son's favorite memory is going out on the pilot boat with him. He loved you kids and was so proud of both of you. I watched Monty when he went out on the Mercy ship, and he ran away before Bob got home. I have always felt terrible about that. I think he missed him so much. We even went to his church to hear his speech when he became part of that church. I have been thinking about Bob lately, as I have not seen him in over a year. I guess now I know why. Take care. With deepest sympathy, Nancy, Bryan and Sarah Mileikis
