Peggy,
Sorry to hear about Bob, He was a terrific guy with a great sense of humor...

charlie,
so sorry to read about the loss of your father. it is so hard to lose a parent. from what i read he had an accomplished family. and i'm sure he knew what a wonderful person you are. for a parent, there is no greater joy than to know you have "good kids".

Having the pleasure to work with Bob over the past year has been an amazing experience. The warmth of his presence, his kindness, sincere interest in everyone, his love of family, and most importance...acceptance. It was difficult to watch this proud man decline and know nothing could be done to fix the situation. But still he lived each day, taking joy from each moment, making the world a little brighter. Knowing him was and will always be an honor.

Charlie,
