What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness? 1 Corinthians 4:21 __________ Dare I say, Bob did both! Not a rod, in the typical biblical sense, rather in that of "fishers of fish" ... We may chuckle at the play on words, yet Bob was a gentle man who, in fact, brought out the fisherman in those who were privileged to know him. His kindness, gentle spirit was not only reflected in his love of fishing moreover, in the care and love he lived. Bob and my mother, Teresa, shared 31 years of marriage. It was a joy to see them flourish in their relationship, their many shared interests, talents including traveling and photography. Bob's tender care of my Mom was enduring through many years of joy and eventual illness. Their relationship stands as a living testament to the loyal, enduring love they shared, moreover to the man himself (though he would never say it), and, indeed, to the grace and mercy of our Lord. I am saddened by his suffering, by our loss, though encouraged in faith of his new life with the Lord.
