I just heard of Bob's passing. I had the privilege of working for him in Philadelphia. He always supported his people. He was a good leader and a good man. He was proud of his family and I know they will miss him. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. Rest In Peace.

Every now and then we lose special people in our lives. Bob was one of those people. He was not only a special person but for us he was a wonderful friend. We had many great times together and he will live in our hearts forever. ❤
