Dear God. Have been out of the loop for awhile, and just happened across the obit by chance.
Shocked and saddened, to say the least. Had been out of touch with Bob (and Patti) for some years, but the years don't erase the wonderful memories. A dear friend since grade school. This is a tough one.
Sincere condolences to Patti & the children.
Miss him already. RIP, Mr. Yips.
