Bob was one of my oldest and dearest friends - we first met in 1956 and were in the municipal bond business as friendly competitors and associates for all those years.
I will miss him greatly, as you do.

Grandpa,
You have always been someone that I could look up to and throughout the years, you have been so envious and proud of the accomplishments we have all made and it has been a true blessing. I appreciate every memory and good time spent with you. From visiting me at Camp in Up North Wisconsin and taking me out to dinner just to spend time with me truly shows the type of man you were. You always loved going to see my Hockey and Softball games growing up, and went out of your way to see anything we participated in on the side. I know you are looking down on all of us now and smiling! I love you with all my heart and will miss you more and more each day!!!!
Love,
Morgan
