Bob and Pat were in our close circle of friends for almost twenty years. We shared many good times and will always treasure those memories. He loved his family and loved to dance!

My deepest sympathy to you, Pat, and your family, on the loss of Bob. I am sure Dom was very happy to see him and they surely have a game going on up in heaven. Love you, Pat.
