Bob and I became very good friends in sobriety. We went on several camping trips. And we worked together on many painting and handyman projects together. The Bob I knew, and ran with for over a decade was kind hearted, quietly compassionate and caring for others. I loved him like a brother and will miss him. Although we moved on away from each other in life, I think of him often. I knew he found happiness with Sandy down in Cape May County and I had settled up in Camden County.
Early on, Bob didn't have wheels so I would pick him up at his Mom & Dad's in Marmora to go to AA Meetings. Every time I would come over his Mom & Dad would be watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. His Mom would always say.. "hey Pete, how ya doin"...and his Dad would always look at me suspiciously.
I will remember Bob paddling a canoe on a pristine lake up in Canada (where of course we got in trouble with the Park Ranger) or hiking down into the Grand Canyon, camping overnight, and hiking back out the next day (where of course we got into trouble with the Park Ranger)...Love you man..
