Jan, Chris, Michael and Erika: Mike Rozovics left me a voice mail on Bob's Passing when we were in St. Paul visiting our son, Andrew. I
wished that I picked up the phone and called more. He and you were the heart of the old Jaycees and without you both the organization would have failed a lot sooner than it did. You both were a breath of sunshine in our lives. Dave and Judy Donovan

Jan,Michael & Chris:
Debbie & I send you our prayers. We knew Bing wasn't having an easy time. He sent us his update just last week. It didn't sound good....but. This was sudden. We will really miss him. We always looked forward to getting together with him in Octobers when we had our annual golf-go-around and in Mays when he joined us on our "road trips".
Again, our condolences
