Bob was a kind and gentle man...so easy to talk to. Rich and I enjoyed his and Sandy's company at TOPS parties. We would make a point of sitting together. Rich and Bob had many similar interests, like hunting and being John Deere fans. We all had so much fun together at the NY State Fair last year. Also the four of us enjoyed sharing 76 wings and THE BEST pizza at Captain Jack's on Bob's birthday, August 1st. Please note: We did NOT eat all 76 wings! I'm so glad we got to know Bob, if only for a little while. We will miss him.
Sending love to Sandy and your family.
Sandy and Rich Wirth
