We will always remember Bob's warm smile, his strong voice greeting us (Hello Dear how are you doing?) his helping hand, listening ear while having a cocktail, scent of a cigar and the sweet sounds of the Four Seasons playing from the garage. Life will never be the same. We were blessed to have a such a great neighbor. Bob will truly be missed.
