What a fun person to be around! Remember when he carried the Andorran flag in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics?

From morning walks together to hiking, biking, a visit to Best Friends animal sanctuary and many, many dinners together, I always enjoyed my time spent with Bob. He loved to tease, which he immediately took upon himself to extend to my mom when she moved here to Utah. He went out of his way to make sure she adjusted to her new surroundings.
