I am so sorry that I couldn't come by to pay my respects to a wonderful neighbor and friend. My heart goes out to Judy and Bob's family. Bob provided much support and even physical help removing our 'tons' of books after my husband's death in 2009, and I'll never forget how much the Protchkos helped me through those difficult years. My condolences and heartfelt thank you for all you've done, not only for me, for many others. A wonderful human being, and happy soul...he will be missed. My phone # is the same, so please call me, Judy, when you're ready? I don't know how to get in touch with you at this time. So very, very sorry. bt
