My deepest condolences, Julie. I can picture Bob's smiling face and hear his merry voice even today, 45 years after Charmian and I lived in your upstairs apartment. You two became like family to us.

Bob will certainly be missed at Northfield. I loved his accordian playing and his ever willingness to fix any squeaky door anywhere.
My prayers are with you Julie at this time. Peace and Love, Nancy Ramsden

Northfield will never be the same with out Bob and his omnipresent WD-40 for the squeaking door hinges!. He was such a steady, kind, and friendly presence. I missed him greatly at the Northfield Conference this past June. It is lovely when all you have of someone are good memories!
