Bob and Nan were great friends to my mom, Marge Gibson, regularly driving her to Sunday services at St. Peter's in her later years. They were among the cherished guests at my mom's 90th birthday tea luncheon some eight years ago, and I will never forget what a lovely time she, and all of us, had at that memorable gathering four years before she passed.
So I was deeply saddened when Bob's name jumped out of the paper at me earlier this week. I had just sent him a silent greeting when I walked my dogs passed his home a few days earlier. (He always had a biscuit ready for all of our pups over the years - probably one for every dog he encountered! - although with their beloved Ivan, they were clearly "cat people"!)
Bob and Nan were such a fun, kind, caring and delightful couple, and good family friends. It is very hard to say goodbye to Bob now, but it is comforting to know he and Nan are reunited. And I will remember both of them with great fondness and smiles. My deepest condolences to the family.
