Jim and I were very saddened to hear of Bob's passing.
He was such a kind and gentle man devoted to his FAMILY!
I just had a nice telephone visit with him about three weeks ago.
" Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, but Love leaves a memory that no one can steal."
May those MEMORIES help you all through this difficult time.
Fondly, Jim and Sandra
