Dear Rosie and Family,
Bob was a tough contender at the poker tables. Many of us go back 6-7 years, playing with Bob at various Scottsdale venues. Playing poker and Bob being present were synonymous. He had patience for the game, but not for a bad poker player! Just a couple of weeks ago, he talked about being a gentleman around women at the poker table and wanted me to be sure and know that. Every time he mentioned “Rosie,” there was a “gentle” man in his voice. I will remember his smile, his voice and our banter during the games. My deepest and most sincere condolences…
