Saying goodbye to my buddy since 1969 is very tough. Bob was loved by all who knew him–I was just one of the lucky ones who knew him well and for a very long time–just not for nearly long enough! Goodbye old friend–I’m hoping we’ll meet again–just not really soon! Thanks again for your friendship for all of these years! We’ll keep in close touch with Carol for you. Keep a spot close to you open for me, and I’ll bring along something to drink! RIP!
