Dear MWK. I could not believe the sad news. I have no words except he is gone much much too soon. He leaves behind another hole. Hoping BB is with you. I'm keeping you close at heart in my prayers and know Bob is safe, with your big brother, our leader, and others. I know we all want to live in the light that will bring our loved ones joy from above - it's the only way. Family. Friends. Live. The Walters family is strong. The fighting spirit is there. God will handle his soul with great care - a gentle spirit. See you when you come to AZ. Love Shanon.

I consider Bob as my NJ big brother. He welcomed me and my family to NJ in 1998. He was generous with sharing his expert logistics experiences and always would make the time to coach me on professional and personal issues. I was so excited when Bob first introduced me as his friend and I remember that day fondly. It still makes me smile. We lost a solid man last Friday.
