I met Bob (or “Rat” as we knew him) in 1980 through my former husband, Steve, who met him in 1968. He has been a good friend to both of us for all of these years and we have shared many laughs and good times. Bob was one of the nicest and kindest people that we have ever known and we knew he would always be there if we needed him for anything, no questions asked. Bob, you left us way too soon but you will live on in our hearts, forever. Love and condolences to the family.
