Hello, I am proud to have played tennis with Bob for many, many years. Often this was with Bev, too. We usually played at the Amy Yee tennis center during the winter months and outdoors in West Seattle when the weather permitted. He was a very good player with a great spirit and sense of competition. He had a wonderfully engaging personality and I will miss him.

Bob never said a negative thing about anybody. He never gossiped or talked badly behind people. He believed in family and friends and surrounded himself with as many as he could
