What can one say to those who must feel the loss of Bob so passionately? I knew him in our youth as a truly good friend who shared with me a mutual appreciation of a special kind of humor. I’m sure this humor accompanied him through numerous situations in his life and put a smile on many faces. Even though I haven’t seen him for 47 years I will still miss him dearly. - Posted by: Ethel (Moffet) Fulford (Friend) on: Jun 01, 2005
