In 1995 Bill and I sent Bob a Christmas card, he sent the same card back to us stating, “Sorry I can’t afford Christmas cards, I’m on a fixed income”. We sent that same card back and forth for 19 years filling every bit of the card with funny comments. We even had to add a insert because we ran out of room. The card rest with you our long time friend. We will miss you greatly.
