Not sure what to say?

Dear Gotelli family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I will always have fond memories of Bob and my father, Reno, sharing horseracing together. Our thoughts are with you. With sympathy, Darlene (Busnardo) and Mike Fleming

All of us at Sierra Pacific Tours wish to offer our condolences to the Gotelli Family and the Shell Alumni Family. Bob will be sorely missed. He was always a great person to deal with and always had a wonderful sense of humor. The bus trips will never be the same. We know that you will keep a watchful eye on any future Alumni trips. There will always be a seat for you on the bus.

Be better where you are now, Bob. This is one trip you could have...
