To Bob's Family that I have heard so much about, and he always mentioned how proud he was of all of his Grandchildren. When I first met Bob in 1988 at the time when I was moving to California, he was a "major" help to me in getting my business started, and for that I will always remember him. Nancy & Skip Humphrey

Hey Bob. You left before I was able to say Thank You. I'll take that to mean we will one day be speaking again. Until then, here's something to leave you with; It was Nov. 12, 1978 that I boarded a flight in Ct., headed for Los Angeles to start a new job and a new life. I knew not one person there. You were 'the boss man' to be, and on your own accord had someone drop you at LAX so you would meet me. And that is where I first saw you, waiting at the bottom of the escalator. In the following years you made me a part of your life & your family. And I can never put into words how much you have come to mean to me. So, hold onto this until we meet once again...Thank you for so much.
I'll be looking for you at the bottom of the escalator.

We will miss Bob tremendously. Always out in the front yard talking to the neighbors and passers-by, inquiring as to what was going on in our lives with our children, our families. I will miss his calls in the late evening letting me know my garage door was still open :) He was the "security guard" of the block, a neighbor in the old fashioned sense, concerned, caring, dear and kind. He will be remembered with a smile in our hearts. With our heartfelt sympathy, The Don Wise Family, Jeanine, Joseph and Colleen
