My condolences on the death of my friend. I will never forget working with Bob at the Sheraton Chicago (Radission later) on the midnight shift. I worked security and he was a building engineer. We would meet in the kitchen on the midnight shift and cook up some great steaks from Kon Tiki Ports. I am also going to miss seeing him at Punky's and talking about the old days and all the capers.
