Bev, Dawn,and Owen,
My heart feels heavy at hearing of your loss, my thoughts are with you. Hang on to those fond memories. I didn't know Bob very long, only while I babysat for that one summer, I felt very welcome, and he made me feel comfortable. He's a great guy.

I was saddened to hear about Bob.
He was one of the most kindest people i will ever know, and i will never forget him (and his smile).
