Dear Donna, I just learned of Bob's passing. I was a pre-op LNA at CH and while taking the surgical tech studies, I had the opportunity to enjoy Bob's love for life and the joy in humor.
May your heart heal, as time allows, knowing he made an impact on those who knew him, as well as the patients he attended to.
Love and prayers,
