Dear Sue, Todd and Corrine,
It is with mixed emotions that we are dealing with the loss of Bob. He is no longer suffering and is at peace, although his warmth, smile and spirit will be missed and long remembered. We have many wonderful memories of our group family here in Phoenix on the "block": the games, parties, camping, etc. We will always treasure those moments and will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I knew him in our high school years and we lived in the same neighborhood but went to different high schools. He was a great guy.
