To Bob's family, please accept my condolences. I haven't seen him in years. I remember how Bob and several other teens used to gather at our house many evenings to play basketball, play board and card games, or dance in the yard. They all had good times, and I would play with them. I know you will all miss him, but you will see him again. Rest in Peace, Bob. You will not be forgotten.
