Our sincere condolences to Jan's family and friends. Bob and Jan were our neighbors who became friends. Dave remembers taking Bob for walks around the block and the two of them singing old songs together. I remember us taking Jan out to eat at Mel's and she always shared a milkshake with me. We miss you both, but take comfort that you are reunited again in heaven.
