Mrs Hamilton,
I am sincerely want to express my condolensces to you and your family. I will always cherish the memories of the summer when Bob and I enjoyed the cold drafts as we built the house next door. He was an excellent friend and enjoyed talking to him. I am speechless today when I heard the news. Bob and I always had excellent conversations about numerous topics ranging from golfing, fishing hunting and a building houses and of course OHIO STATE FOOTBALL. I will miss him as my ONLY real close friend on Somerset Rd.
