Hugs of sympathy to all of Bob's family and friends. He is totally at peace and in the arms of his Savior. I always thought of Bob as the perfect example of " A Jolly Good Fellow", always ready with a joke and a smile. He was beloved by our whole family and shall be missed always but mostly during wine-making season! Rest in Peace Bobby.
