While I did not know Bob very well, I knew of him through his closest loved ones. He was a kind, gentle man who wasn't afraid to hug! I will remember his last trip to Disneyland in 2012...my partner & I were there with him, his wife, daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren. We all shared some special memories together. Our hearts go out to his entire family at this sad time. RIP, Bob.
