I just found out today of Bob's passing. I worked with Bob many years ago at Cleveland Frog & Crossing. Please accept my condolences. I am very sorry I could not pay last respects to him.

He & Kitty took me to the Browns game vs. Jets with Joe Namath coming to town......thanks to Bob, I still have the autograph picture written personally to me. If there is football in heaven, he is on the team!

Dear Gain family, we would like to extend our condolences on Bob's passing. We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with Bob and Janis at Eat n Park in Willoughby four years ago. Bob shared some great stories and most weren't even about football. May God bless the Gain family.
