My thoughts and prayers are with you. I got to know Bob in the last five years or so. He was dedicated to helping the young inmates at Garden State Correctional facility. Whenever Bob called I would gladly meet him at the facility and carry the message of recovery and hope.

He was such a dedicated and compassionate person and will be greatly missed. God Bless to family and friends.

sincerely,

Wayne & Kathleen Cummings
