Dear family and friends of Bob,
On behalf of all the Iowa dancers, I want to say that we'll miss seeing Bob's smiling face and hearing his wonderful Texas accent at the Nob Hill Ballroom dances!
He was certainly a kind and gentle man.
Condolences go out to Lois and all of Bob's family.
Regards,
Doug Koempel / Memory Brothers
