We didn't know Bob very long, but we knew he had a kind heart. He always took the time to have a lengthy conversation with our three year old. We miss him. You are back with your Adele again.

We will miss Bob and remember him for his welcoming spirit. His door was alway open to a friend. We know Adele saw and appreciated the caring their dear friends in Chicago showed to Bob in his final illness. God speed Bob.
