I am so deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing. I met Bob when I joined the Friends of the Kingston Public Library after I retired and was immediately drawn to this amazing, kind, enthusiastic man. He was a gift to all of the organizations he was part of and will be so missed. Rest in peace, Bob. God bless. 🙏💕
He sounds like he was a great person.
So sad. He was my neighbor and we were friends thru the Jones River Historical Society. RIP Bob.
