My deepest sympathy to Rita & family. First time I met you two was at the Millbrook Diner & I couldn't figure out why my best super Ralph from Gilbane was not talking to me. Curiosity got me & I went over to say hello & found out it was his twin. Then it seemed every time I had to go to Greenhill for something, there he was. However, I was sad the last time I was there & no Bob. Just didn't seem right. He was such a nice ray of sunshine. May your soul rest in peace Bob.
