Bob and Maggie were mentors in my life.  Maggie for her business smarts, generosity and love of family.   Bob was creative, driven, a visionary and self-made success story.  I loved listening for hours about his up-bringing, his Navy days, his business ideas, and the deep wisdom he freely gave.  I talked with Bob about 2 weeks before he left us to be with Maggie in heaven.  We spoke for an hour about many things, and I know he was strong in spirit and ready to face whatever phase he was about to  enter.  His spirit will forever be in the fibers of my family history as an Uncle, a mentor, a good listener and story-teller, and a friend.  Enjoy heaven and if there is a casino up there, may you forever hit the jackpot!   

I saw your recent post regarding the passing of your father, and wanted express my condolences.  I only met Bob a couple times in my life, but I know that he played a significant part in the way our industry evolved, and that we all owe him a debt of gratitude.  I hope that your family finds peace during this difficult time.  You have my deepest sympathy.
