    Bob was an uncle to me even though we weren’t blood related. He helped me find my passion in the Art Field. I had known him all my life. He lived life to the fullest. My deepest condolences to Elissa and family, Steve and Linda.

    He is playing one on one with my pops up in heaven.

    Love Lee
