My condolences to the families touched by Bob's passing. I knew Bob as a young man growing up with my son, Mark. His death came too soon and was very unexpected. I was shocked to hear the news as were many others who knew him.
He is in my thoughts and prayers and I will always have those fond memories of his early years to reflect on. May he rest in peace.
