My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Whatta great guy! I will miss
his wit, his wonderful turn of phrase. Leave it to Bob to go out on April

"Eternal rest grant unto him, . And let perpetual light shine upon him. May
he rest in peace. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."
