Bob was one of my very best friends. We were in grieving meetings when he lost his wife and I lost my daughter, , , We got so close then. . .I always gave him a hug when the meetings ended. . . I went to see him when he was in the nursing home, and sent him cards. . . He was a gentle man and a gentleman , , , In grieving he talked so much about Barbara and now, praise God he can be with her. To all of his family, I know Julie, God be with you at this time. My heart and prayers and sympathy is with all of you. Please remember the “love on is gone but his love lives on” as love never dies. . .God bless all of you . . .Barbara Fisher
