Bob was a wonderful guy. So helpful and caring. I use to live next door to him and he was always teaching children about the plants in his garden, telling stories about the reason he had a boat on his roof. (One was to fight the alligators with) He would mow my front lawn whenever he did his, and kept the sidewalks clear in the winter for the kids to get to the bus stop and home. He was a great man and will be greatly missed. Heaven got a fine man when they called him home.
