I Was Very Sorry To Hear Of Bob’S Passing. We Worked Together For A Few Years And I Relied On Him For Advice And Guidance In Navigating The Courthouse, Which Was Always Forthcoming And Insightful. After His Retirement I Always Enjoyed Talking To Bob When Our Paths Crossed. My Deepest Sympathy To The Family.
