I am so sorry to hear this news about Bob. I so enjoyed working with him for the eleven years I was at Kiene & Bradley. He had such a wonderful, understated sense of humor that could sneak up on you and always a calm presence even in the last minute pushes to get a job done. My sincere sympathy to you, Marilyn and to your family.
