Bob joined our family of Red Cross volunteers on 1/18/05 and compiled over 596 volunteer hours covering the office, answering the phones, struggling with his email, handling orders and customers, always in a positive, upbeat manner. He was instrumental in securing volunteer funding and donations and was a favorite at CPR Training Days 2006. And, he was always willing to share his lunch with those around him! He will be missed.
