My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Bob and I were fraternity brothers at Marquette but had not seen each other for quite a long time. A few years ago we met at one of the annual gatherings in Hilton Head and it didn't take long after a few games of tennis and some social gatherings for the joy of those days to be re-lived (and I'm sure enhanced). I'mforever grateful for having had the opportunity for those hours with Bob.
To Jill and the family: God Bless and Peace.

Bob gave me my first big break while working in systems development at WI Bell. The MEED system would have not been possible without Bobs backing. Don't remember many clients from back then, but Bob is one I do.
RIP Bob.
