One of my all-time favorite pictures from years ago:
Our children, Kasey and Ky visiting Bob at the station

People that knew Bob, knew how much he loved his career on the Fire Department. They knew that he designed and sold bracelets (patterned after the P.O.W. bracelets) to raise money for the victims/surviving families of 9/11 Firefighters. Bob, along with a group of Firefighters from LBFD, flew to ground zero and presented a substantial amount raised while visiting the brotherhood in New York.
