Jan - so sorry for your loss. There is nothing like "Dad", and I was reminded of your story about your shoe. Have thought about you often and hope all is well with you and yours.

May you rest in peace, Bob. What a life and career you've had; embellished by your many years of public/community service. Thank you for mentoring my former husband into the banking industry many many years ago. Thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

Helen, We were so sad to hear of Bob's passing! I sang with him, as did you at church. I was the redhead alto. I will never forget his many accomplishments and great voice, but mostly the big smile and giggle whenever I saw him.
Condolences and hugs, Heidi and Floyd Beecher (both now grey)
