I am so sorry about your father. I read him every chance I could and there is no other columnist like him. He made my day regularly.
He will be missed and right when the world could use his wisdom and humor.

I know Bob has now started the "Heavenly Times" newspaper and is a shining bright star contributing a glorious daily column, and catching up with old friends.

As a young PR executive and publicist in Chicago, I loved dropping in the newsroom (via the back stairs) to drop off a column item to Bob.
He was a great guy full of humor and talent to share with his readers.

He was a favorite columnist for many people... and always funny!

Heaven just got the best of the best.

Condolences to the family. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear beloved Robert.

May you find comfort in knowing that our heavenly father feels for you in your pain, Psalms 55;22
