Hi Sarah,  I’m sorry for your loss.  You chose an incredible life partner and I was very saddened to hear of Bob’s passing.  He touched so many lives in a possitive way.  I knew him as the Mayor of Ross Street. He never missed an opportunity to spread kindness.  I loved the enthusiasm and light he brought to each day. I will certainly miss our conversations.  Much Love.
