I got to know Bob better while driving him to physio. He never ran out of intelligent conversation so the drive and wait in the clinic always flew by. A very sweet man.

I have fond memories of Bob as a dance partner/coach, and visiting with Eileen and Bob in Florida. Also one memorable lobster dinner. May you all be well.
