My deepest sympathy to the family. I am so glad that I met your mother at Bob and I’s 40th class reunion. They looked like they were meant for each other.
So sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. We spent 12 years together having gone to St. Pauls and Madonna where we graduated in 1970. Bob was always one of the nicest guys in our class. I hope and pray you are once again reunited with your wife, Mary Susan.
