Although I may have lost contact, with Bob, over the years. I always thought highly of him. And I enjoyed working and riding to the Mill with, him, when I was a young man.. Loved listening to the stories of my family and of hunting. I think of him often, and of those times. My deepest heart felt condolences go out to his family..
