Carmen, We did not realize this happened, yesterday we saw a lot of cars at your home when we came back and thought it strange and for some reason we decided to check this Sunday online, and are just heartsick over your loss. Bob was such a great great guy and neighbor - we will sorely miss him.
sincerely,
Andrea & Jim Fitch
