Kim, I was searching for you on facebook and this popped up about Bob. I am so sorry and sorry to your parents for your loss. wow, I had so many fond memories of Bob in his "Elvis" room and him being a "DJ". I am truly sorry, I just don't know what to say. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
