Dear Neda, my deepest condolences go to you and your family. So sorry I’m so late in responding to your email. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I know Bob was a great husband and father. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was such a gentleman and I miss seeing you and him in CC. Take care and I wish you the best. Love Jo
