Rennie, I’m so sorry for your great loss. With his probing intellect and adventurous spirit, Bob left a lasting mark. I’ll treasure the friendship we had, and I won’t forget his unfailing kindness toward me. May God bless you and your sweet daughters, Kathleen and Rebecca. May warm memories you have of your father and the love he had for you heal your spirits.
Love, Forester
