Bob was class mate at Juniata Joint. He had a personality that outshined. I hadn’t been to the last class reunion. He was kind to call and think of me afterwards. At the time my husband BJ was dealing with his battle with cancer. He passed away 18 months ago. We shared our life stories and many great school memories. He was a great guy . I’m truly sorry for your loss. God bless
