Theresa & Family, Please accept our Deepest Sympathy. We are very saddened by your loss and share in it. We only learned of Bobs passing a long time after it happened. We were always very fond of Bob and considered him a good friend. We enjoyed listening to his stories and laughed at the tricks he used to play on us – just for the fun of it. He was a real treasure. We had some really good times at the Flea Markets and made lots of happy memories over the years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all his family & friends. Rest In Peace, Dear Friend. Charlie & Bernadette Vokey, Spaniard’s Bay
