I'm sorry to hear of bobs passing. I had the honor to get to know Bob while he lived in Illinois. And he was one very proud and happy grandpa to Sandra's oldest daughter Makaya. Not one time did he let her cry. If she even made a noise Bob was going to pick her up. The live he had for her was unconditional. Wish I could be there with you Sandra but I'm sending love to you and your family.
