Rest in Peace Bob. Thank you for your service. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have known and served with you.
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS UBIQUE LEST WE FORGET
