Bob and I were good friends in high school; we were frat brothers and enjoyed Binghamton's night life. He was personable, easy going and a stand up guy.

Eileen I am so sorry for the loss of your soul mate Bullet, we all know he loved you as much as you loved him. Take comfort in the fact that you have your own Guardian Angel watching over you and each time the Yankees win that is Bullet smiling and kissing you. Love Debbie
