My sincere condolences and love to Madelyn and the family. I was a friend from out of town who stayed with Bob and Madelyn for years, in Lakewood and Peoria. Bob welcomed me always with joy and a sparkle in his eye. A fond memory, and there are many, is of having a cocktail, listening to Bob’s stories and laughing. Helane Grill
My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved him!! His humor and charisma could be felt by all who knew him! I remember him sharing his secret to growing potatoes, which was a game changer for me in my own garden. Holding you all in my prayers! CT
