Bob's passing brings sorrow, but my memories of him, his smile, sense of humor and helpfulness, and the lives shared by the 47th Street neighbors still bring joy to my heart. My sympathies and prayers to all your family.

I worked with Bob at E&E Linotype in the early 60's. Bob was a very good operator, coworker, and friend to all. Always had that grin, couldn't wait to go home on the weekend to see his girlfriend! Our prayers are with you Connie and your family!
