For the last 12 years or so, I have had the pleasure of eating dinner with Bob and Nan at our table at Oak Crest Village, and have enjoyed Bob's warm-hearted friendliness and humor. He was one of God's best people, and we all are saddened by his passing. It was a privilege to have known him, and his memory will live on for years to come.
