Bob was one of my best friends over the past sixty years and l will miss him until we meet in heaven. The Bob and Sandy Martin, the Masterson's and the Hills were a tight group throughout the sixty years and will continue now with the five of us. I could talk about Bob for hoursabout his Whole in one on Cape Cod, about his Guppy farm, about his parrot about our fishing tripstennisCape Cod outings before we were married. Many trips with the couples celebrating New Years for a long weekend in different places across the country. Bob helped me change jobs which turned into upper management positions. Sometimes l would call Bob Mister warmthBut he helped me in all aspects of my life, I miss my Friend and always will
