So Sorry
Judy, Molly and family,
I apologize for the lateness of this posting but have been a bit pre-occupied with Gail’s situation. We were so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing but know that the recent years have been a struggle for him and the family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and wish you strength and peace as you move forward from this loss. Much Love, Gail, Keith and Kelly.

Judy/Molly –
Bob was my supervisor at U.S. Customs in Oceanside, CA in the early 90s. He was a very experienced federal investigator (from his time in Detroit, Los Angeles, and San Diego). For all things considered, Bob was pretty laid-back and even tempered. He was quick to tell a funny story (usually about something that happened to another agent).
I remember he would often run before work in the morning, and follow it up with his regular breakfast – a donut and Diet Coke. While eating his breakfast, Bob would complete the New York Times crossword puzzle in ink (before the Internet or google).
With condolences,
