Yesterday

To say that Bob was one of the greatest friends anybody could have is an understatement. I knew him for over sixty years initially through martial arts. He and I lost contact over the last several years, but without a doubt he always stuck by you through thick, and thin. I pray that Chris, and the kids can weather this storm in their lives. I hope they can be rest assured in their hearts that he was loved greatly by everyone he touched. RIP, LOVE, Steve E in Md.
