Anne I am saddened by the news of Bob's death. I have so many good memories of the time I spent in St. Louis and Bob was a big part in many of those memories. At the NARPI reunion I was so glad to see that Bob was still the same gentleman that I had met so many years ago. Please accept our condolences and prayers in your time of grief. Bob will surely be missed - he was one of a kind.
