Connie and Cathye,

Please accept my condolences for your loss. I have many fond memories of Bob from high school. He was a very smart and personable guy that would do anything for you. He will be missed, but memories are a wonderful thing. God bless you and your family.

Connie - I know that there are no words that I can give you to help with the pain you have right now. I am so happy that Ed and Bob ( with Al ) had some time together. It was a day that meant a lot to Ed. I find peace in knowing that they are together again. May God watch out over you and your family.
