Bob was a dear friend to my husband Chet and me for years. They met when they served in the Army together at Ft. Huachuca and we spent many hours together in Arizona and New England sharing historic sites, wonderful food and most of all great laughter. My family and I send our love and we all will keep our precious memories of this special man.
