Bob shared a lot with me. River Rats, Tugboat Roundup, fireworks on Lake George, hiking, Troy Music Hall, that little Italian Restaurant in Troy, thoughts, dreams, and tons more, as well as his love. I will miss you sooo much, my friend. I love you. Cindy

I met Bob years ago when I worked for Scott's Printing Company here in Duanesburg. He would often come to visit Scott at the print shop, as they were fellow skydivers together. Bob was always quiet and kind, not given to boast or bravado. He did have a wonderful smile, and I know he will be deeply missed. Bless him always, and to you who mourn him.

I give you this one thought to keep-
I am with you still-I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone-
I am with you still- in each new dawn.

So long Farwell Senor, Blue Skies Forever. I hope you are peace. I will never look 'up' to the sky again without thinking of your smiling face and all the fun times. To Bob's family I'm so sorry for your loss.
