Bob and Betty have been our neighbors on the Cape for many years. A nicer couple you will never meet. Bob visited our backyard Tiki Lounge almost every day at 4 p.m. for a beer and conversation with the neighborhood boys. This summer will not be the same without the squeak of the gate announcing his arrival. Our condolences to his beloved wife and family....Rest in Peace our dear friend.
