Bob dated my first wife before I married her. She knew him well , but I took her away from Bob. My firm belief is she went for the Marine uniform and the adventure of being a Marine's wife. She often mentioned Bob. "He is so respectful of women" she would tell me. Too late to ask you Bob. That was just one of my unanswered questions . I am now on my fifth wife. Think of the conversations we could have had.
Bob in life was respectful, smart and bright.

Bob was the ultimate "Class Act". A loss to all of us.
