I had the pleasure of taking care of Bob a couple of different times at Butler Hospital. I will never forget his beautiful kind smile, and spirit. He was one of those people where you just wanted to pull up a chair and talk with him. The love between him and Mrs. Graeber was an event to behold. There was such kindness, and love shown between the two of them. It was truly an honor to have known such a special man. May God be with his family at such a difficult time.
Love,
