As everyone knows that has ever met Bob.....your life will be forever changed from simply knowing him. He never failed to greet you with a smile and a hug / and his contangious laughter always brought joy to those around him. I was so very sad to hear of his passing. I will miss seeing him - but know that he is now with his son and I know that he is happy. (as always) My thoughts and prayers are now for Mary and thier family. Big hugs Mary.....Debbie deBoer
