Dear Nancy, Lori, Paula, and Tim,

I am so sorry for your loss and so sorry I only heard of Bob's passing today (March 20). My memories of Bob are of a strong young boy, who could bike faster than the rest of us, climb higher, and who was full of joy. We built tree forts in the summer and igloos in the winter. I will always remember him laughing... and while I am deeply sorry for his loss, I will always cherish our time together as boys.

Yours,
Jay Hunt
