I just found out about Bob and I am devastated. Although we drifted apart after college, like so many do, we were friends since elementary school. Always had a wonderful sense of humor and a keen wit, Bob will be forever missed. I am so sorry for all that loved him and knew him because to know him is to have loved him.
