You know it's me Dad. Things have been crazy with the COV-19 Panademic I don't know what you know but I don't think you went through this in your life. We are all suppose to wear masks. Marcia is making some great masks to protect us all. A lot of people are under quarantine and working from home, restaurants are pick up only or some will deliver. I am able to work, I lock my office and wear a mask when in contact with anyone. I believe I contracted this in mid December 2019,that's when I got so sick then bronchitis went into pneumonia, very slow recovery and just now feeling close to my normal!!Whew!!What a ride that was.
I still miss you constantly and you know that...you are my heart. I will check back later...lots and lots of love, so glad you are my Father...
I haven't seen Mom or Marcia or Stephen for about 2 months, we are all trying to stay healthy and safe.

Hi Dad, well I am up to my old tricks again, I broke my right foot and have a knee high boot that I need to wear for a month, it sure makes it feel better, I am seeing a Dr. less than 3 miles from 4975, there's nothing here in Borrego. I thought about you all the drive from San Diego to home. I love you and miss you so much, I know I sound like a broken record. Love my Dad

Dear Bob,
In the short few years we've known each other, you've been a true friend -- a friend that I needed, a friend that I would like to become, a friend who will be missed. Thank you for being there and for drawing me out of myself. I'll always remember your humor and stories, as will many others. Know that you are loved and have left behind a fine legacy. Peace my Friend.

Dear Bob,
You helped me in my recovery at a time of need, you taught me that I don't need to take myself so seriously. The small group we were involved in benefited from your presence and light and getting to know you outside the rooms was the high point of our Thursday evenings. With much love to you and I know you're in the hand of God, you will always be in my heart and in my mind.
