Cathy, Chris, Melissa, and A.J.,

The Beges family is so very sad upon hearing of the loss of Bob. He was always one of the nicest Dad's in the neighborhood.

Sarina was home briefly a few weeks ago, and shared with us some memories of being over at the Gale home, and reiterated what a nice man he was.

I ran into Bob 3 or 4 times this past spring. He was sitting outside of Andronico's eating, and I would joke with him that "he just couldn't leave the neighborhood." He laughed. The last time I saw him at Andronico's around May he told me he was going to have us up to the new home in Emerald Hills. He gave me his "grin" as I walked away. That is what I will remember most about Bob. His "one and only grin."

Stay strong and remember that there are many people who will always remember Bob.

Love, The Beges Family
