Bob's room was next to my dear grandfathers at the home where they both resided. They both served in WWII and became friends. Bob looked out for my grandfather and always let us know when he was having difficult days. Bob was a large part of our memories of Glendale, so much so Mom continued to bring Bob treats after the loss of my Poppy.
We hope that Bob is at peace. Know he will be missed by our family.
