Bob was always outspoken in any activity. We always appreciated Bob's willingness to volunteer, and to share what he was really thinking. He was a lot of fun, high energy, and one helluva chef. Prayers.

I think a little bit of Dublin died with you Bob. You were a part of our city in what was a rare old time. We had a laugh, a few drinks, plenty of food, and we managed to do some good work together both writing and acting. But mostly we had fun. Miss you buddy, break a leg.
