RIP our dear friend

I knew this week was too quiet.  No doctor appointments at all.  Something had to happen...and it did.

On March 9 the world lost a great man.  Our dear friend Bob Grabow died.  Bob and Al have been best bud's since 1949!!  High school together and have remained friends all these years.  Bob was one of  the reasons we settled in Tucson.  He had lived here for the last 25 plus years.  We had great times together the past 10 years...we traveled to Alaska together; spent many, many hours at our house, met for lunch at least once a week, etc.  Our lives will never be the same and a big void has entered our life. 

I got a call Wednesday evening around 7:00 p.m. from the MedicAlert company that Bob had pushed the emergency button and they had dispatched the EMT's.  I called Bob and he said he was having trouble breathing and would I come over and take care of the dog and "things".  Friend Gordon and I raced over to Bob's only to be met by the fire department telling us they had transported Bob to the hospital.  So off to the ER we went.  When we arrived we were escorted into a private "consulting" room...I knew then that the news wasn't good.  The doctor came in and informed us that Bob had died from a massive heart attack.  Needless to say, Gordon and I were in shock.  We then had to go find Bob's son, Rob and tell him.  Worse thing in the world to have to do.  Hope I never have to do that again.  We spent all day Thursday at Bob's house sorting through paper work and getting it ready for the executor of the trust.  I sure was glad to turn that big box over to him.

So our life has changed once again.   We will miss Bob tremdously, we will miss his dry humor and wit.   Rest in peace our dear friend.  We loved you.
