My heart aches to hear this news. We fought parallel battles - mine pink and Bob´s purple. My heart goes out to Meg and his family (who he talked about all the time and who he fought so hard for more time with) and to everyone who loved him. The loss is heavy and he will be missed by so many. It was a valiant fight, Bob. Rest In Peace.
