I met Bob 40 years ago on Grafton Hill when he was a young salesman. He helped me get my first sales job with Liggett and we have have seen each other continually over the years at Trade Events. It was always wonderful to see him. He was a true professional and a great role model. I am shocked and saddened. We will meet up again Bob! God Bless you all.
