Dear Ronnie,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I will miss seeing Bob walking Zelda on Lancelot where we encountered each other regularly while I jogged by. It was always a pleasure to say hello and briefly chat. His natural friendliness made the neighborhood seem very much like a neighborhood. I shall truly miss him.
I am sorry to not have made the memorial service as I learned of this within moments of the service time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
