....41 years ago almost to the day, Bob took me to lunch at Dyer's Chop House in downtown Toledo...he was really a charming guy to have a meal with; witty and gracious with a fine sense of humor...at meal's end, he offered me a job which I accepted...as the years went by I always looked forward to talking with him at the annual meeting and at trade shows...he treated rookies and veterans alike with kindness and respect....prayers go out to him and his family.
