Carry, our hearts are breaking - we are so sorry for your loss! Bob was such an amazing man, so funny with such a love for life - I've always looked forward to seeing him come in to Holiday so I could harrass him about getting you two to move
BACK to the old neighborhood! MAN, HE LOVED YOU! He ALWAYS *lit up* whenever he talked about you and the kids, but talking about grandkids - I've NEVER seen someone grin like he did! Bob was an INCREDIBLE guy, Carry, thank you for sharing him with the rest of us!
