I am so very sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was the nicest, kindest man and my favorite boss (I had the pleasure of working for him for several years). Sue, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. You and Bob will always have a special place in my heart and he will be greatly missed.

We started going to Bob, the Dentist, when we first moved to Colorado Springs in 1963. Darrell (Higman)found him through his wife who was also a teacher. He was so kind and I will never forget him and what he did for me.
