I was so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. Being gainfully employed by you and Bob helped me to pay my college bills. While he was a tough guy on the exterior at work, he had a good heart and hearing the news of his passing made me pretty emotional. Sending lots of love to you Sally, Paul and the grands. I’m so sorry.-JL
