So very sorry to read of Bob's passing. My parents, Earl and Dorothy Mavis always considered him a great friend. We had so many dances and parties over the years that he played at....the memories are just wonderful. He was an amazing man and surely will be missed by all. Keep your memories close until you meet again. With deepest sympathy The Earl Mavis Family
Good bye Bob. I will miss the fun and laughter we had playing Bridge.
I just heard of Bobs passing. I am so sorry, hopefully he went peacefully. He and your mom, Vera, were both so full of life. Lots of fun. Bob always had something funny to say. I will always remember them as they took such good care of my mom. They were terrific neighbors
