I just learned of Bob's recent passing and I am so, so sorry for your loss. Bob and I worked together at IBM in Rockville and he was the most gentile, kind hearted person I ever met! He always had a smile on his face and had a great laugh! Bob was my "go to" person if I ever had a question about anything. He was so patient. I don't know what he passed away from, but I pray he didn't suffer. He was one of God's angels here on earth. Our sincere sympathies. Claudette and Jim Hladik.
