Dear Arlene and Family:

Jill and I were talking to Bob yesterday as we wished him Happy Birthday and during our call Bob told us about Don´s passing. Please accept our condolences and prayers for your entire family. The few short times we were around Don was always enjoyable and interesting. Glad we had those times.
