I'm very sorry to here of your dad's death. Bob was always one of the highlights of visits with my parents and having breakfast at the Hampton Coffee Shop. My mother actually passed away the day after Bob did and I know that she enjoyed his company as well. My dad and I extend our deepest sympathies.
