I have a profound sense of loss. Bob had a huge impact on me and my family. I am grateful that when I am home, I see his handiwork everywhere and can lean into the he memories we made. When I close my eyes I can clearly see him and find myself smiling as I think about our time together. He was a workhorse and a genius at spreadsheets. Loved his kids and grandkids with all his heart. Would literally give you the shirt off his back. The world lost one of it’s most generous and loving men.
