"BOB SOLES" never refused my requests to drive. Less than a year ago he was still driving his fellow veterans to an from the clinic. I always called him "handsome young man" because he was just that. His spirit was always awesome and I loved hearing about the different stories regarding his children (btw - He was so proud). Love and miss you already...Your boss at the Viera VA - Karen
