To Bob's family,
The mailman just delivered a Christmas card returned "undeliverable" that I sent to Bob this year. I looked on line to see if he had moved, and, sadly, found his obituary. My belated condolences to Bob's family. Bob and his wife were dear close friends of my mother, Eleanor Wermuth Potter, who lived in Lakehurst, NJ. Bob and I were related thru my maternal grandmother, Margaret Gnatz Wermuth. I've shared many a good memory with Bob through the years and was always happy to receive his annual Christmas card with news of his many activities and his full and energetic life. I will miss his notes and am so sad to learn I have lost one more link to my family and heritage. But we will all have one fine reunion in heaven one day and I look forward to that time. Much love,
Lisa (Ann Potter) Zinis
