Oh yeah....I remember Bob well.
Bob used to bust my balls relentlessly about being (raised) Catholic (in those days, Catholics were not suppose to eat meat on Fridays...so we ate a lot of fish sticks)......and wink at my buddy ......the laugh was on Bob though when he learned at my buddys funeral in '78 that he was Catholic also.....and a far more devout Christian than I was at that time. I think when you know you are dying (cancer) , you develop a very close relationship to your God.
He came up to me with a worried look on his face exclaiming " I didn't know the boy was Catholic too.......you guys NEVER said anything to me....you guys just let me go on...and on".
Bob was a source of a lot of laughs.... RIP Bob and Wally.....and Bob, thanks for the grins.....Wally, thanks for the friendship.
