I am so sad to know of Uncle Bob's passing. Bob will always hold a special place in my heart and was a favorite person in my life. I will always cherish my memories of him. I am grateful he was a part of my life. He lived life on his own terms indeed and that is what I loved most about him.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
