I only knew Bob briefly as a resident of Norris Square. H was a nice, soft-spoken gentleman. I will miss him.

Sometimes the many thoughts our voices can't find the words to say, our hearts can hear and understand.
Roger, through you I knew your dad well--so much like my dad. We were so fortunate they got to meet and share stories of their youth. My dad still talks about 'Roger's dad'. Forever in our thoughts...
