As fellow classmate '70 and good friend it saddens me to learn about Bob's passing! Somehow I missed seeing this! Can anyone let me know what happened?
RIP Bob!

I just found out that Bob has gone on to another adventure. I remember him so well. The last time I saw him
was at our last class reunion. He always had a way to make you smile and laugh. My prayers and thoughts
go out to his family. I am so very sorry for your loss.
R.I.P Bob...and keep a candle burning for the rest of us...
Your friend...

Rest in Peace Pal. You were a great and outstanding classmate and a good friend.
