Bob liked company, and welcomed visitors to our homes wherever he was. He would often say good bye to guests, adding “you are welcome back anytime” and he meant it.

He was a good sport, open to adventure, willing to try just about anything. He was loved by his family and will be missed forever but not forgotten.
