Suki, one of the first times, Bob and I were together, he was telling me about his friends. He said," if I'd ever had a son, Joe would be have been my choice. Not that I always agreed with him, but we had such a closeness as two men ever had. He was always at my right hand. I truly love the man like a son."when I met you and Joe, I immediately understood what Bob was speaking about. When he addressed Bob as Boss, I felt such gratitude that two people could have such a friendhsip. The times we four had together will always have such a smiling memory for me. It was always such a fun event. My love to you each day and I will certainly be there in spirit at the service in March. You are really a special lady to me. Love, Ann Falter
