December 28, 2021 at 11:55 amSo very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a gentle man with a warm heart.
I often met him in Terra Nova while he was walking the loop. He always had a smile and a story to share. I know he will be missed dearly by his coffee club at The Dep. I don’t think there was a topic that they didn’t cover over the years sitting around the round tables!
Our deepest condolences to his family. —Vera, John, and Ethan
