Bob probably never knew of me. I used to hold him when he was just a baby. He was a cute chubby little one, My parents were friends with Pete & Lagarda. I knew Don & Ron a lot more. We all played together when kids. Bob is the last of the Kent family. RIP all of you.
Robert always took the time to stop and say hello. I enjoyed his chats and his amazing wit. I feel your loss, David. He will be missed.
