As your "across the street" (on Azteca) former neighbors for over 18 years we love you folks and admired all that you and your children have accomplished (and still are) through the many years. A friend of our daughter's (Lynne) named, Foster Parnell, relayed the information to all of us so we were not aware of Bob passing on to heaven until just recently. We will see you in heaven - Bob and we pass on our thoughts and prayers for Emily and families.

Good men like Bob are very hard to find. I worked along with him in N.Y. many years ago and learned of his quiet sincerity and brilliance-a man that we truly admired..A great loss to all of us.
