To Bob's family. I have just learned of Bob's passing. Bob and I worked with Ed Sury at American National Insurance Co. I retired from an ocean carrier in 2003. Wish I had followed obits. Would have been an honor to visit with his family. A past friend, Earl Hughes

Irene,



I am sorry about Bob's passing on.

Ironically, we were just looking at old home movies a few weeks ago, that my dad had taken. Sheila took them and had them put on VHS. You and your family are on some of them and I was explaining to my kids who you were. Years ago!!!!! My thoughts are with you.
