Jean, so sorry to hear of Bob's passing and for your loss. As you know, my connection with Bob is with my Great Uncle Harry Allen, and Bob's hunting trip with him as a young man along with my dad, wherein Uncle Harry passed away in his sleep during the trip. My mother, Shirley Schwan, also wishes to send her condolences to you and your family.
