Our condolences go out to Kirsten and the rest of Bob's family. I have known Bob cashually for 25 years or so but am happy to say that I had the pleasure of spending more time with him over the last number of years when Bob and Hank would meet for lunch on most Tuesdays and had welcomed me to their get togethers whenever I was available. I will always remember it as a very memorable and enjoyable part of my life and I will miss Bob's company.

Our heartfelt condolences to you, Kris, and all your family by the loss of Bob. It was wonderful playing bridge with both of you and we understood the circumstances why you could not play anymore. Bob was a wonderful, softspoken man and he always had a smile whenever we saw him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kris and your family. May Bob rest in peace. Bill + Gertrude Roes
