My heart goes out to Bob's family, his wife, children, brothers. I have been a cousin of Bob's most of his life. We ran around together as teenagers in Atlanta. I Consided Bob one of my very best friends. I remember the lunches we had together as adults when he was in town. So sorry we had not been as close as we were at one time. I will trully miss him, as I miss his mom, dad and sister. Love you Bob
