The years that I knew you as my corporate leader lends value to my life even today. The lessons you provided me are now honored. Your friendship was necessary and appreciated.
I so look forward to our meeting again.

Boss (Bob). Just found out you left this world for the better place. You were the best boss a man could ever have. We both enjoyed those scampi dinners, bottle (or 2) of Valpolicella wine and a couple of cigars. I will always remember you as a fine gentle man.
