Mrs. Rutherford and Leslie,
John and I just heard about Robert's death yesterday. Robert was an amazing friend in high school to both of us. He was the best man at our wedding. Although our keeping in touch was sketchy, we loved our conversations with him over the years.
Robert (our son) was named for him. He will be missed. With gratitude for our friendship with your son and father, Ruth and John Hoenick ([email protected])

I regularly flew with Bob (his FO). We were paired together month after month after month.

We spent long hours talking over every issue under the sun. He was a great guy and we kept in touch long after we both retired.
