My sympathy and love are with you.  Bob was a very special friend to us too.  Our families stayed as close as we could with people moving due to jobs.  Fred and I with our kids followed Susie and Bob and their kids when we were all younger.  We visited them in Erie, PA, Syracuse NY and Phoenix AZ and you visited us a few times on Sherwood Road in later years and we made several  trips to Phoenix.  Susie and I talked most weeks over the years and when Fred and Bob got together after we were married they both had good minds and solved problems and made “fussy” things.  We were always thankful for our friendship.   Susie and I are still really close friends even though we don’t see each other often.  The phone has kept up our friendship.   My love and prayers are with Susie and Barb and thankful for that friendship over all the years.  My love and prayers are with you.    Joyce (Hammond)
