Yesterday

I knew Bob over 25 years ago when we both lived in Baltimore City. He amazed me with his span of interests, his artistic nature, and the fact that he was really a good guy... An environmentalist long before it became popular, he made me aware of how much we waste just going about our daily activities. At the time I knew him he rode a Harley, drove a Volvo, and presented me with a copy of "The Prophet". This says a lot, I think, about who he was. My condolences to his caring family. He spoke of you often. Be well, happy and peaceful...
