My Dad just called and let me know of Bob's passing. My heart is so sad to know he is no longer with us. I have fond memories of him when I was growing up and later when I came back through Idaho in my early 20s and stopped by to visit in Lava Hot Springs (one of my favorite places in the world even now!). I remember how he took the time to give me a history lesson, tour, and even regaled me with some stories about him and my Dad. Every time I think of Lava Hot Springs, he has always come to mind and brought a smile to my face all these years. As a lifelong friend of our family I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss and tell you of the positive impact he had on my life. My heart truly aches. I wish I could find the pictures I took from that trip so long ago- but if I close my eyes I can still picture the one where we were standing together and smiling for the camera- the picture I took specifically so I could take it home and brag to my Dad after my travels about the fact that I got to spend some time with Bob. May he rest in peace and may your family and friends find comfort as I do in the happy memories of him.
