Joan, Rob & Family:
I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We had some great times at the Wings games & booster club events, and I have thought of your family fondly over the years. Praying for you all at this difficult time. God’s blessings and peace.
Always enjoyed visiting with Bob when out riding our bikes or when I would see him in Walmart. A friendly and engaging guy.
