Bob was a man that I think of myself of being like in my older years .. I have know him for only four years and in the last four years I grew to know him very well .. I would see him nearly every day .. I look at him as my grandfather in a sense because I live a distance from my own. He will be deeply missed by me still as of this morning it really has not hit me yet . Fly high Bob
