I can even comprehend saying the name just "John" without the "Bob and John." I just can't do it. I'm so, so sorry. This is such a huge loss for us Islanders and for Seneca Falls. Bob was just full of love and always when above and beyond to help my Dad, Larry and then us. Life at the lake will be much less bright without Bob. So much love from us in NC.

A great guy. It seems just like yesterday that I saw him walking downtown. Always friendly, smiling too. I guess that will be how I will remember him.
