Bob was a very special man to me. He reminded me of my own father that I had lost 12 years ago. He was always kind to me and some of his remarks would make me smile alot. Even though I hadn't see him since he moved to Denver, he was always in my thoughts. My sympathy goes to all of his family, you have lost a great man. Thank you Chanele Beacham for being with my friend to the end.
