Dixie & sons,
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Bob was one of my favorite teachers. I hated high school but always looked forward to his class. His positive energy, enthusiasm and great sense of humor made learning fun. I'll never forget his giant smile or the mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Sending love and prayers your way.
