B.O.B. was a special friend to me and my husband, Max. We traveled many miles by car and plane with Bob and Joyce. I have many wonderful memories and grieved as those memories slipped away from Bob. My condolences to Joyce, Chris and Deb and the many family and friends that survive him. I'll never forget his beautiful smile.

My condolences to all of Bob's family at this sad time. I have a close friend whose husband also has Alheimer's at 63; doesn't sound like an easy situation. I would like to express my appreciation for the love Bob showed for his grandson, Brandon Brown. I hope and pray for the best for the whole family and that you will all find the strength to go on.

Sad to hear of Bob's passing. A close friend of mine's husband also suffers from what Bob did and I am very aware of how difficult it must've been for you. Bob always showed forth love to my son, his grandson, Brandon. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Dixie Lish
