My heartfelt condolences to Bessie and family. I was surprised to accidentally run into Bob at John Evans factory. I was a salesman and he was the supervisor. We were high school members and I was so pleased to remake our friendship. I remember him and Bessie as very warm, nice people. It was a pleasure to know him.
