What a wonderful picture of Bob. It certainly captures his warm smile and attitude toward life. He was fun to be around. I was fortunate to have spent fun time with him, Betty, and Debbie in the past. See you at the showing.

Betty, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. I always enjoyed listening to his stories about his time on the ship when he was in the Navy. Even when I saw him last, which was October or November of last year, he still talked about how much he enjoyed being in the Navy. I wish I'd been able to see him again before he went to see our Lord, but I know he's in a better place. I do miss cutting his hair. I really enjoyed the times we had together. Tommy, the barber
