Dear Mellick Family,
I am so sorry I did not get the news of Bob's death till now. We do not take the newspaper. I got a message to call and I did but there was no answer around that time. Bob was a great guy and he sure touched a lot of lives when we worked together and throughout his life.
God bless each of you.
