I didn't know the Buchanans well but enjoyed them when they attended Sunset Hills Baptist Church in Omaha. Although it was hard for Bob to get around he always stepped aside for me to go in front of him. It should have been the other way around as I am in a chair and have no discomfort waiting for him to pass. I'll miss him.
