Dear Maxine. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Bob was a wonderful man and will be missed by all that knew him. Unfortunately we have not seen each other in a number of years but I will always have fond memories of you both and the great Rehex Xmas parties. My prayers are with you! Rest in Peace Bob.
