  14. Betty I’m so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Bob was my boss and mentor for about 15 years. He was such a kind and generous man, Bob would have done anything for anybody and often did. I learned so much about business from him and so much more. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Praying for you and your family♥️
