I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He served along side of me in the William Bradford Colony of Mayflower Decendents for many years. His wisdom and humor were greatly appreciated. He was a good friend and will be greatly missed.

Please extend my expression of sympathy to all of Bob's family. Valerie, you may remember me from when I worked with your Mom at SJH. Your Dad's advice to me re: my MG Midget when I needed it was appreciated.

Our family was very saddened by Col. Bob's death but feel fortunate to have had a chance to get to know him. He provided many moments of fun for our mother, Deeds, and we are grateful for his companionship to her. I was hoping to have a chance to see him at the WWII Memorial in DC when he recovered, but we will think of him whenever we visit.
