To Eileen and family. Bob (or "Skip", as I knew him), was a classmate of mine in Highland. We shared many good times. And, several years after college, you met me when I was at Homart and he was in his early career at Sears. I am shocked that he has departed. I was looking forward to rekindling our friendship at next years 50th high school reunion.
