Dear Mary El,

I am so sorry for your loss of Bob. Bob was a Great person who was a big mentor to me when I was just a kid going thru college. He gave me very good advice, which to this day, I often reflect on. I really think it was because of him that I am where I am today in life.

I always enjoyed talking with Bob. He could be very serious and then throw some humor into any conversation. Whenever I see a Walter Matheau movie, I think of Bob.

You and your family are in our thouhts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. One of the first memories I have of Dr. Kastelic is when he showed up for car pool pick up with a VW bug (I think) and there were 3 Wesleys plus Lisa. My dad really enjoyed talking to him and I am hoping those conversations have now resumed.

Sorry for your loss
