I am so sorry for your loss, and just looked up Bob online and found this link. My mom, Mary "Sharon" Skinner Stevens, dated and was at one time engaged to Bob in high school and college. Mom passed away on March 8th, 2012 in Fort Collins, Colorado. She was also 74. We have many pictures of Bob and mom when they were in high school and college, and also several greeting cards that Bob wrote. If you would like for me to send you scanned copies of any of these, I would be happy to. Please call or e-mail me at 970-443-8587, or [email protected]. My name is Amber Guillot. Please accept my sincere condolences for your family.

Bob and I became friends and worked closely together in the Bankers Consumer Credit Association in the early 80's then took that relationship to Commerce where we worked together for several years. He possessed the highest integrity and was extremely well liked. Even though we haven't seen each other for quite some time, we were always together in our hearts. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family, Kay. I'll miss Bob but treasure all our memories. Peace and prayers.
