I am so very sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Rachel, Ashlyn. And Erica sharing junior high and high school years with my children, Kevin, Kelly, and Kori Fogg. Bob was such a nice man and as a testament to him he raised three wonderful daughters, mostly as a single parent. What special ladies they turned out to be. He will be remembered, we were blessed to know him.
