I am deeply sorry to have heard that Bob passed away. When I helped him to settle into bed on Sunday night, we had a little laugh, I told him "Goodnight, sleep well, I'll see you on Wednesday". His reply was "I'm looking forward to it." He was such a dear man, I will miss him. My prayers are with you all.
