Bob once wrote “Whenever you see a beautiful spot on the ocean shore or the grandeur of a mountain stream – think of me and know how much I love these things….and when I’ve passed – hear my voice in the soft ocean breeze or the wind through the towering pines…feel a gentle rain and know somehow, every drop will be my touch….”
