To Bob's family -- my deepest sympathy on losing a wonderful man. I was one of the potters on a Gloucester account of Bob's, and we always looked forward to seeing him. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and always ready to spend a little extra time to straighten out a problem. And he was just such a nice, nice man! I hope your memories of his smile help you through the sad times.
