  3. Uncle Bob was truly the sweetest most sincere and kind man. I loved his wit and his passion for sports & food. I can still remember the amazing smell of the pipe he smoked when our family would visit. He would visit my dad in California quite often as his health declined and Uncle Bob would just sit and read his paper, eat Jimboys tacos and be with my dad, those visits meant so much. Uncle Bob, you will be so missed by everyone who knew you. My heart breaks for Aunt Elaine, her love and dedication to Uncle Bob was beautiful to witness. Love you all, Jennifer Lewis XOXOXO
