Our condolences to Mary and Family. You know we love you and wish we could be their at this time. Bob was one of my best friends and I am blessed that he was part of my life. At IBM and when we were playing pool... Bob would always tell me that I 'needed to learn to relax'.. something that has helped me to this point and I am certain, saved my life. Bob was a great mentor, friend, and family man.!! I will deeply miss his wisdom, humor, and friendship.
A very sad day and loss for us all.
LOVE.
Mary and Family - You have my sincere sympathy. Bob was a GREAT guy! I also worked for him for years at IBM. He had a wonderful sense of humor. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prays are with you. Mary, and the rest of the family. I worked for/with Bob at IBM and have great memories of stories of his family. He was a good guy, and that is meant as high praise. Gods Peace and Love
Condolences to family -- Mary I remember celebrating his 21st birthday in places where we frequented when we were not 21, playing basketball for the squadron and Thurs. night reviewed pictures of the 2000 reunion when you responded to Chip's question --"you all are nuts". He was the best of the best always laughing, even wanted to play football in two feet of snow. We were playing football in Argentia, Newfoundland and watch a commie burn off gas for two hours so he could return. I was fortunate to have him as a friend. Chip save a spot on the basketball team but I am not in a hurry. Oh as usual when they meet -- GO EAGLES -- our bet still stands.
God Bless all
Sympathy, warm thoughts and our prayers to all of you.
