Bob was a great co-worker at IRA. We were family, and I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Betty, you were one of us too. My family rented your home in Ocean City for several summer vacations. Bob spoke so proudly of his children and grandchildren. You all were the joy of his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
