To Bob's family,
Bob was a regular member of our Poetry Circle and often at the library for other purposes as well. His presence and participation in our circle added in a unique way. He was a straightforward, old fashioned gentleman, who loved reading and writing beautiful, lyrical poetry that pondered the simplicities of love, family, honor and kindness.
For several years at our December meeting, Bob read aloud to us. I will never forget his beautiful, booming, and dramatic readings of A Child's Christmas in Wales and The Night Before Christmas.
Though rather private, it was clear through his work that he loved his family, and was very proud of them.
I offer my condolences for your great loss. He will be missed here.
