So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a good friend through high school at Wasson. He and I drove to Steamboat Springs for a weekend of fun when we were maybe 17 driving his new Chevy.

You will be so missed Bob. Growing up with you was something I'm very glad I experienced. I'll always remember bowling in (9th grade)prom dresses and tuxes with your Mother cheering us on!

You'll be missed.
