Susan,Dave, Betsy, Dick, Paul and ALL of Bob's friends and family, I am SO sorry to hear of Bob's untimely death. Little did I think when I saw Bob for the first time in 48 years last fall at his mother's funeral, that he would be gone this soon afterwards. Please know that my heart aches for each and every one of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. God Bless!
