I worked with Bob at the Soil Conservation Service in Durham many years ago. He was always a pleasure to have around. I lost track of Bob when he left SCS and I had no idea he was living in Dover. My condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear the loss of our Frater and Brother Bob. His kind demeanor and friendship will be missed. Everyone knew Bob in Masonic circles about Melbourne Florida ...and his love for the Masonic fraternity-particularly with involvement as a Shriner at AZAN.
