I am so sorry for the loss of Bob. He was such a wonderful person, in every way. I served with him, in the Milwaukee Coast Guard Reserve unit. I always looked to him for advice and knowledge when I needed it. I could always depend on him. I have many wonderful memories of him. One being that he and Alda gave me my first sofa. This may not sound like much, but when you don't have one, it is. Gave me is the optimum phrase!! I will cherish his friendship always...........Fair Winds and Following Seas, Dear Friend...............

Love you, Sandy Mitten
