My condolences to the family. I've chosen a photo showing Bob's playful side, the way I'll remember him. Bob hired me for my first real job, sold me a set of golf clubs that started me on my life long passion for the game he also loved, and gave me my first set of nice wine glasses for a house warming. I'll use one of those glasses tonight as I toast an old friend.
