To Jan, Marty, Jay, Doug & Adam, I am sorry about the passing of your Father and Grandfather. I was surprised to read his obituary in our local paper and wasn't aware that he resided so close to us. Marc Reif (in Palm Springs)

Jan, David, and all of Bob's loving family members,
We loved our dear cousin from LA. His zest for good food, excellent wine, and life were contagious. Try though he may, he could not pronounce "uff-da," but he made great strides on our memorable road trip through Minnesota and northern Wisconsin with him and Jan. He taught us to love sushi -- he was patient with our mid-western ways -- and he was always a welcome guest in our home. We will dearly miss him and we will always remember him fondly. Much love, Chuck and Marianne in Italy
