I´m Gary Peterson, fellow Navy aviator, squadron-mate in VAQ-130, and roommate on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Bob was a great friend with a terrific sense of humor. We would joke on the ship as we were going to bed. I said I couldn´t wait to drink coffee in the morning, and he joked he couldn´t wait to get up and drop the ball tomorrow. I loved Bob like a brother. I´d like the family to know the impact he had on me and others. I offer my sincere condolences.
