Jan;
I am so sorry to hear of the passing
of Bob. As you may recall I met him
a couple of times while you and I
worked together at KRSI.
God be with you and your family

I worked with Bob at NCR Comten in 1982-83 & have fond memories of working with him. He was very kind to me, as a new employee, and I enjoyed his intelligence & great sense of humor. I was very saddened to learn of his passing.

Scott, I was saddened to learn of your fathers passing. I remember him from youth baseball and when we socialized in high school as a very kind man. My thoughts are with you and your family.
