I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of uncle Bob.
All of us, N-7 Neighbors, will miss Bob whether its at golf, N-7 parties and picnics or anywhere in Del Webb. He was a fun guy to be with and he always had a few jokes and one-liners. At various parties I was asked to be his designated driver, always an honor. Rest in Peace, Bob. God Bless you and Marilyn.
