Nick/Karen,
So sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I really enjoyed getting to know him.
I must tell you, when I listed his house I was fairly new to the Real Estate business. After the process that we went through to get it sold, I felt like a seasoned veteran. I put what I learned to work each and every day.
I will never forget the conversations we had around the kitchen table! Im thankful that I had the opportunity to be around him!

So very sorry to hear that Bob has died. Know that he is in a better place and free of pain. Condolences to his children and to my cousins, Karen, Shirley, and Connie and their families. God bless, Bob.
