Hi Bob, Pick up. This is Kay> I hope it isn't anything I said that made you leave like this. If at all possible, call ASAP so Jim and I can tell you what a great guy you were...or did we tell you already?

A devoted family man, a true friend..generous, funny, fair and silly! You really were silly, you know. You always made us laugh with your non-serious demeanor..and THAT washey-washy joke...don't even get me started.

It certainly won't be the same without you for so many reasons.

Somehow stay in touch. The next banana split is on us..

Love ya', Kay and Jim
