Dear Joyce and family. I worked with Bob in Legat, Mexico, back in the 60s. We had similar assignments and shared an office when I first arrived. I will always remember his cheery manner and broad smile. We had wonderful give and takes on the day's affairs. As the "old timer" he helped break me in. I treasure Bob's memory and pray for the repose of his soul.
