Remembering precisely when Bob (and Shari) (and John Perks) first entered my life, in 1974 at the big house on the corner of 5th and Mapleton in Boulder -- pre "Kalapa Court" days ! Bob was always 100% kind to everyone, and free from any pretensions. And with a sometimes-wicked (and droll) sense of humor! I loved witnessing him with his twins David and Rachel!! In recent months, it cheered me to welcome his presence at the Halifax Shambhala Center on Sunday mornings when I went to sit, and he was there as a kasung if he wasn't sitting. We greeted each other with hugs. 76 is too young to die. But we've learned that death is real and comes without warning. Farewell, dear beloved friend. You will be very dearly missed by a lot of people who love you. Including me. 💕
