Carol and I have many fond memories of Bob and Robbie as they spent many wonderful days RVing with the Tri-State Panhandlers Chapter of SMART. It is with a heavy heart that we say good bye to a good friend and travel companion. Our prayers go out to Robbie and her family as Bob leaves this life to be in the hands of the Lord.
