I just learned today that Bob had died.
It was years ago that I met him in Colorado Springs, Colorado, through a mutual group we belonged to. We became friends, and stayed in touch for a few years after he moved to Wyoming. But as often happens in life, we eventually lost touch with each other. Now the good memories are flooding back, and I miss him all over again.
Goodbye, old friend.
Rest in Peace.
