We are so sorry for the loss of a wonderful friend. In our younger days we spent many wonderful times with Kathy and Bob. We had great dinners together and spent weekends traveling, eating, laughing and of course the guys were always talking about their jobs at the phone company. We will miss you Bob. May you rest in peace.

Dear Kathy: I am so sorry for your loss. Bob and I had reconnected after a lifetime in between. I enjoyed my chats with Bob these past few years. I am glad that you have the support of your children in this stressful time. Please take care! Ed Rochford

Bob, I’ll miss you very much. We had some great times together, lots of stories, tale-telling trivia, and talk about the car we had, the cars we wanted. Our children and grandchildren.
