I'm very sorry to see Bob's obit. Now I know why I haven't heard from him in awhile. Bob and I worked at LaSalle at the same time but I didn't know him until I worked at BMO. I very much appreciated getting to know him there and his professional support in that job. I will miss his humor. I hope St. Peter's found you a fun foursome of golf, Bob and I assume all the tee shots go straight down the fairway up there. :)

We are so sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. He was a man of few words but loyal to his church and his friends. We will miss seeing him at RFCC and passing the basket at mass at church at IC. Our condolences to his family.
