My deepest sympathy to the Viera family. Bob was a very special person who always brightened any room he entered. He will always hold a special place in my heart - as will Kathy.
I will miss Bob's smile, his jokes, his compassion, and kindness. I will never forget the happiness and laughter and wisdom he shared. I am blessed to have known him.
His passing is a great loss to all.
Kathy, I love you as much as I did Bob, and admire the relationship you two had. You will both always be in my heart and my thoughts and my prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
