My condolences to Jayne and your family. I remember the football game when we were Juniors and Bob was a Senior played at Hammond High. Bob was running, almost from Field Goal to Field Goal for a Touch Down! I had never seen anyone run that fast before! After the game, that is the first time I had seen you two as a couple and thought, "How lucky can one get?" I always thought and believed your courtship and marriage was one made in Heaven. Peace be with you and yours.

it was very sad to see this news. my condolences to Bob's wife and children , and my most sincere sympathy to the Kaminski family , Ray , Cathy(Mark) and Dave(Roxanne).
Bob was the first BMOC I ever knew at TFN , and certainly was the real deal. He was also one of the best people that ever came out of the old Gold coast/Price St.neighborhood. Rest easy Mr. Touchdown , as you charge over that last goal line.
