I am so sorry to learn of Bob´s passing. Bob was a principal therapist who oversaw my recovery in 2021 at St. Francis Hospital from a major stroke. Bob would often stop by room to discuss auto racing and other things. He spent many hours assisting me and helping me to walk again. I am forever grateful for his encouragement and dedication. He passed away far too young.
