Bob was ‘one in a million’. He was not concerned about the negativity that others freely shared – he spoke from his heart. He didn’t jump on the band wagon to be part of the majority group. He thought for himself and ‘felt’ the pain that others felt. I’m thankful that I got to experience his loving personality. May we all be more like Bob and ‘think’ before we open our mouths. May his family and friends always remember his smile and his silence until he either remained silent or he shared his loving thoughts/hugs with those in need.
