Sandy, It has been a long time but there are some people who make an impression on your life and Bob was one of those people. I remember returning to the school the day after we lost in the semi finals in basketball. There were people there to greet us and I just lost it and could not get off the bus. Bob got on the bus and talked to me until I calmed down and was able to get off. He was a special person. I am so sorry for your loss.

I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a firefighter The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the firefighter has to do believe that his is a noble calling.
