So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I have fond memories of his relationship with my Aunt Loretta Lane, spending Thanksgiving Day with Bob and Bea when they moved to Florida, and the many lunch-dinners we had together. Bea and Bob were friends for many decades. Bob helped me with Loretta’s funeral when she passed. He was a soft spoken, kind soul. He loved talking about his children, especially his grand daughter. He was so very proud of each of you. I hope that the many happy memories you have of your father/grandfather will bring you peace with time.
