Betty, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I would have been there for Bob at the end of his journey. Bob and I became very close thru the American Legion. I had the pleasure of meeting you on one of my many visits to Angel River. I spent so much time with Bob, he became my very best friend, we talked every day for hours. He was not just a friend but almost like another dad to me. He was always there to listen with an open ear and was very sincere in his friendship. I could sit and listen to his war strories for hours, he was very proud of his life as he should have been. Just to let you know I believe Bob is finally resting and no longer in pain. I loved him dearly and was very saddened to hear about his death. I will always know that he is still my angel watching over me as he is for you. My thought and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I will miss him for a very long time. Beth
