Dear Kathryn and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing but I know he's at peace now and in a better place. I'm sure he is smiling down upon all of us.
Even though Bob was my boss in Everett, he became my friend too. We used to walk at lunchtime and have great talks. He cared about his people and he was always there for me. I can't thank him enough for being there for me when my Father was dying of lung cancer. Bob came to the hospital just to sit with me (since I was basically alone) and we cried together.
He was a wonderful man with a big heart and soul and I will truly miss him. I'm glad I was able to talk with him in August of this year and even though he was ill, he still made me laugh, always thinking of others.
You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All! Thank You.
