I was saddened to learn of Bob's death.I met and worked with Bob at Eastern Air Lines in the seventies. He was truly a gentleman who often spoke fondly of his family.

My deepest sympathy to Charlene and family at your loss. While I didn't know Bob well, I always enjoyed greeting him on Sunday mornings at Abiding Savior Church.
