BOB

Bob and I first met when I was 5 and he was 9. He lived on the street at the end of my little dead end street
and the back corner of his yard almost touched the back corner of mine. He and my brother became best friends
very quickly and I soon developed a huge crush.

Bob was a frequent visitor to our home and quickly became like a member of our family. He had an interesting array of pets.
A collie dog named Danny Boy and various other Heinz varieties including a dog named Candy that was one of the
homeliest dogs I ever saw, but had a very sweet nature. He had 40 or 50 show pigeons (some of them became champions),
guinea pigs, white mice, cats, and Heaven only knows what else. He inherited two white rabbits from us that
we had always thought were males. We had them for years and a few months after we gave them to Bob they had six young.
Not sure if it was Hoppity 2nd or Joe that turned out to be a girl, but we sure thought it was funny.

Bob at about 17 or 18

We were forever telling Bob that he looked like Robbie on *My Three Sons*.
His family always called him Robbie, and still do to this day, although to the rest of the world he's Bob.

Here's Bob, in a kilt, going to a theme office party.
I think he looked pretty spiffy.

For Christmas 2002, I bought him a box of beer with his own personal label. He loved it!

In 2005, Bob bought me a skydiving lesson.
With my past history of back problems I decided it wasn't worth the risk.
He decided to do it in my place and had a pretty amazing experience.

For Bob's 25th anniversary at the bank in 2006, his employees tinfoiled his entire office, including the walls.
This is the ball of foil they collected after disassembling it.

Bob has become quite good at Acrylic Painting.
