Becky, we just heard about Bob's death during the Prayers of the People yesterday (Sept. 6). Bob was truly one of the finest men I've ever known. It was always a delight to talk with him, whether about the Navy, his Eagle Scout days, or anything else. I was proud to be his friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.
