So sorry to hear of his passing. I was his secretary when he worked at Anderson at Singer. He was a great boss.

My condolences to the Batting family on Bob´s passing. I met Bob through the Barrington Garden Club unaffiliated when we usually met monthly to discuss the political or other topics of the day. He was a great conversationalist and a lot of fun to debate with. He will be deeply missed.
