Ahhh man Bob. I went to Chico on sat and made a pit stop in Los Molinos to check on my friend that I hadn't heard fm in some time. When I couldn't find him I knew in my heart what that meant.sucks dude.
Bob was quite the man. He ran circles around most 30 yr old.
If I ever needed anything and it was in his power I had it.we had some times.good ones bad ones.victoria said when saying he was a genuinely true friend.

Bob was a cherished friend. He regularly communicated with me, and our discussions spanned a wide array of topics. His most significant focus was on politics and the condition of our nation. He consistently expressed concern for my well-being and included me in his contingency plans; we even devised a code for communication in the event of a catastrophic scenario, which we often approached with humor.

During periods when I felt disheartened, he had a remarkable ability to find the right words to uplift my spirits. I held him in high regard as one of the few individuals I could genuinely consider a true friend.

Over the past few years, his importance in my life deepened significantly. Today, I received the confirmation of his passing, which clarifies the reason for his recent absence. My growing concern had gradually transformed into dread, and I had hoped that this was not the cause of his silence.

I love you, Bob, and I will miss you profoundly.
