Thanks Frankie, I wish I had lived close enough to keep in touch as you did. He was a very special person.

We'll really miss him here in Richmond. I visited Bob last week-end in the nursing home. He was taken to the hospital about a month ago with pneumonia and asthma and trouble swallowing. Then he was taken to a nursing home to have a feeding tube inserted, but he decided not to have that done. I think he was very, very tired. Frankie Liles
