We are so sorry to hear about Bob´s death. My parents had such fond memories of your times together. He had such a beautiful smile....my Dad always looked forward to those Friday nights because he could see his high school buddy. Even as my Dad was failing .... I knew he loved to be together and able to enjoy everyone´s company. My Mom always commented on how good Bob was to my father. Thank you and God Bless you! Friends in heaven now!

My deepest sympathies to the entire Hines family. Our families were very close over the years. Mr. Hines was kind enough to offer me a job as a very young man and taught me many life-long lessons. A true gentleman.
