Carol and family,
my heartfelt sympathies to each of you on your huge loss in your family, bob!
we worked together last 4 yrs. I was there in development support.
oh how bob enjoyed FOOD; free treats we'd bring; and the above photo is how I remember bob when he'd come to building 4 where the rest of his co-workers worked out of with our boss, tom sally.
I was shocked to see of bob's early passing in life; he enjoyed it to his fullest.
I remember his telling me of his dad's passing.
can you see the lineup of folks wanting to take LINE DANCE LESSONS from bob in HEAVEN? I CAN!! ;)
make copies of your favorite videos/dvd's with bob in so original can be saved, and you all can play often when you are missing bob the most.
wonderful hearing their voices/laughter and watching their mannerisms and gestures.
RIP BOB HILL.
may god comfort you now and in the days, months, and years ahead.
