This is Andy Holt. Bob was the husband of a cousin of mine and a very good friend to me. I recall once at the ocean we were wading out about chest deep and talking about sharks. In a few minutes we found ourselves about ankle deep.
When he and I would play chess, we'd play a while and then knock off and pick up where we left off days or even weeks later, whenever we had the time.
We fished together at his country pond. All this to say, he was a long time friend and a fine companion, greatly missed.
