So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. It was a great pleasure working with him in my younger days. I always enjoyed seeing him from time to time to talk about those days and catch up on what was going on with our lives since. Our sincere sympathies to you and your family.

I'll keep cheering for 2017-- Go Tribe!
