My sympathies to the family. Bob and I (we may have called him Rob) were pretty close for a while back in the Clinton days. I remember the house on Richmond by the alley. I am looking now at a photo of our class in 1960. I've been out to Phoenix a few times and I'm sorry we never got to see each other.
