I got to know Bob when working on a project for the A-C Central school system. He was donating his formidable accounting skills and helping with delicate negotiations. We worked easily and well together with a number of other local talents. I enjoyed the time we spent working together as well as the meals I had with him on several occasions thereafter. I will miss you, Bob; rest in peace.
