Bob,
Over the past 25 years you and I have had many talks while overlooking the York River. I will miss your intelligence, your wit, and most of all your friendship. Christmas will not be the same this year without your beautiful baritone singing those carols. Thanks for letting me, Steve and Kari Leigh be a part of your family. God bless you Bob. (I am sure you are flying again!) Love you always... Robin
