    Pat - I will always remember the Bob of old - one of the sweetest men on earth. My heart aches at your loss, but my soul rejoices - for I know on that night - God met him at the gates and said "Well done, my good and faithful servant and now I have greater things for you to do", and Bob will answer "I am ready Lord".
