Tributes
"I worked with Bob and became friends for a life time. I loved to hear his Storie about everything...mostly about his times at the Journal. One of my favorite things was to hear him laugh...I loved the sound of his laugh, so I always had to have a joke for Bob. I hope you are laughing in heaven. Hammer"
