Mike, I'm so sorry. My dad told me this yesterday, and I almost didn't believe him, after all I had just spoken to the two of you not that long ago. I wanted you to know that my dad said he was really going to miss Bob. He was one of the few people who actually listened, my dad said, and was genuinely interested in what was said. I know your Dad may have felt that he wasn't really living life to its fullest of late and was, at times, bored out his mind, but all this time, he was making a HUGE difference in the life of my Dad, and I'm so grateful for that. BOTH of us will really miss him. Harry's daughter, Jean
