I've known Bob for many years as both a colleague and a good friend. He used to love talking sports, especially girls softball. He touched so many lives over the years when he was involved in pitching instruction. Although his mark left on earth is finished and he wil be missed by all who knew him, he is now in a far better place doing the things he loves to do.
