I am so very sorry to hear this. Bob was one of my father's best friends. They met thru general elevator, worked together for years. My memories of him always make me smile. He was a warm light, and he saved my dad's life. My heart goes out to the family

Dear Bobbybear,
I will miss you and your many kindnesses to me and my family.
Your smile could light up a room and often did. You left us to soon and so sudden I didn't get to say goodby. Xmas eve will never be the same without you. We always looked forward to your visit you and Santa. Tell Rick I said Hello and behave yourself.
Love,
Lynn
