I played golf Mondays with Bob and his friends and neighbors Wes Johnson ,Ron Yanez , John Torchea, and Bob Rosenberg . We all enjoyed his humor and the many stories he shared with us. Bob was a true friend. We will all miss playing golf with him. My sincere sympathy goes the Heatley family.
Sincerely, Roger Folsom
