Joan and family,

Please accept my condolences on your loss. During my 20+ years with Barnes-Hind I deeply appreciated and anticipated every opportunity to get together with Bob and solve both the company and world problems. Of all the great acquaintances and friends that I made during my time with the company, Bob and our boss Tom Quenroe, have left me with some of the greatest memories. My only regret is that I have not remained in closer contact since we both retired. Thank you for contacting me and informing me of his passing. I have fond memories of all the good times I had with one of the truly good people I have encountered during my lifetime. God bless you and your family. You are in our prayers.
