Ron Ruffalo says
So saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Worked with Bob for several years and have many fond and happy memories from that time. We were golf partners and Bob was a beginner but rapidly improved and in a short time scored lower than I could. He was a good athlete. I remember during a lunch break, a group at work decided to have foot races and Bob won beating guys 10 and 15 years younger. I’m thankful for having the opportunity to meet and to get to know him.
