Oh sweet Foster family, my most sincere condolences for your loss of your beloved Bob. I am an old neighborhood classmate in Brentwood and always thought highly of Bob and his family there. Never was there a sweeter fellow in my eyes that your beloved Bob. Recently I had contact with him and have been trying to reunite him with his old buddy Wettmarshausen, but had no luck before we have lost Bob. God keep Bob in His loving arms in perfect health and happiness until we all meet again. I am deeply grieved, and sympathetic for your/our loss. Sandye 2014
