Charlotte & family, From my family to yours, our very deepest condolences. Bob was a wonderful man who will always hold a special place in my heart. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always thought of him more as a family member. He was always kind, caring and genuine. "To know him was to love him. I just heard of his passing late last night. I regret not knowing in time to be at his service to have the opportunity to tell you this in person. Truly a man who was carried to Heaven on the wings of Angels. Love and hugs to all. XO
