Kay, I googled your name today to find your address. I was shocked to find that you lost your husband and your son at the same time. I am soooo sorry. If I had known sooner, you would have heard from me before now. You and your family are in my prayers, and I pray that God blesses you with the peace that passes all understanding.

I just learned of a gifted 6th grade musician in my area by the last name of Pluta and remembered Bob from way back when we worked together at SAGA washing dishes at Wheaton College. Curiosity led me to search his name and I learned of his untimely passing. How very sad. I remember Bob as a caring, gentle, and kind young man who was a gifted clarinetist. He had that infectious smile. When I just saw his picture I knew immediately it was him from the smile. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Rob with his dear Siamese cat, Babybuster...
