I would very much like to atten Bob's service, but time and distance will not allow it. It was a pleasure to know Bob and consider him a friend. All my sympathy for the family and his friends.

I worked with Bob when I was stationed in Spokane in the old Patrol (USBP). He was a great guy and a great radio operator. When the old boys get together to reminise there is always good words for Bob.
My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
