Sorry to hear of Bob leaving. We grew up together riding motorcycles, skiing, fishing, working at Kit Rate Kid for his Dad.
We then went our separate ways. I met his oldest son in 1989. In 2008 He asked me for family pictures which I had a few from the early 1960s and never got them sent. Strange how time passes. 50 years seems like five. My condolences to his family, and his sister Linda. She would be the only one to remember me. He always referred to me as family. We were both born in Fairbanks. RIP Brother.

My deepest condolences to the Gillam Family during this difficult time. Bob and Bernie were long time friends from High School and that friendship remained through thick and thin. I'm sure they are catching up and fishing for the "big one"! You are truly missed my Best Man.
