I have fond memories of high school days with Bob, driving that old Pontiac and parties on the beach. I am so grateful to have reconnected with Bob and his lovely wife, Nancy, the last few years. I am proud to have been friends with Bob.
Jean and I wish you, Nancy and all the family, God's special peace at this time. Sincerely, Michael and Jean Shyrer
