I've just heard of this tragic loss of this great man I spent many hours with long ago. He was just like a father to me, a gentleman like my departed father. My thoughts go out to Pat, Karen, Vicky and the rest of the family. God bless.

For those who know me I am Karen's partner, Leonard .
I have known Bob for a very long time . He is what I would call a true Father, excellent host and wonderful conversationalist. As a home handy man, Bob and I had a lot in common. Bob was one of those people who would make everyone who met him at ease and welcome, with his incredible sense of humor and down to earth nature. He is what I would say to be "The New Angel In Heaven".
