Jeanne and family, I was saddened to read about Bob’s passing. I’m so sorry for your loss. Just the other day I was going through all the sympathy cards I received when Cliff passed away and this saying on one of them just struck me. “He will always be with you, whatever you do and wherever you go. For now, may the caring thoughts from others help you through.” My memories of you and Bob are of a happy, fun loving, good golfer’s couple. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
