Bev and all the extended family, I have been thinking of you all since I heard the sad news of Bob's passing. Remembering very happy times working together on our political endeavors sharing laughter, and good company. 
Bob was a special man, whose legacy lives on with his children and grandchildren. Bev you will miss him dreadfully, may your memories bring you comfort. Unfortunately I will be out of town, but will watch the service on live stream. Rosemary Wells
