My deepest sympathies for your loss. We’ll miss Bob’s presence in the Thursday night Grandview golf league. Always a pleasure to play with, he had been in the league longer than most and had plenty of stories and jokes to share. May your fondest memories of Bob sustain you and your family at this time.
