I am so saddened to hear of Bob´s passing. My cousin, Derrick Shelton, introduced Bob to our family and he came to visit a few times when he was in his late teens. He was a fun-loving fellow with a wonderful sense of humor. Our condolences to his family. May our Lord and Savior be with you all in this time.
