Barb,
We are thinkning of you and you have our deepest sympathies. Bob was a good neighbor and friend. We enjoyed the "good" times, the parties, the garage sales, the neighborhood activities - we'll miss him. It was good that Bob "did this his way" - we'll always remember that.

We are so sorry to learn of Bob's death. He did so much for the old neigborhood, and was appreciated for his humor, personality, and his willingness to get involved. It was a privilege to know him.
