We were very saddened by the news. Our thoughts go back to the West Side, Marshall High and the good times we had together. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Shapiro -
I enjoyed visiting with your husband when I went to Seven Acres to see my own father, Meyer Lewis. He and Bob were even roommates for a short time when Dad first arrived at Seven Acres. Bob always spoke so lovingly about you - it was very sweet. My thoughts are with you and your family. Sincerely, Felice Klein.
