First let me say I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob at Bank One. Even though I hadn't seen Bob in a while I still considered him a friend.
His loss saddens me.

Norma, I was saddened hearing about Bob's passing. Although I had not spoken to Bob in several years I never forgot how I enjoyed working with him. We had some good laughs while working very long hours. I always felt that Bob looked after me at Bank One. Everytime he got promoted I took his old position.

I tried to have lunch with him a few years ago buy he was to busy.

As the years pass I realize how lucky I was to be a part of team working at Bank One.

Bob left us to soon.
