May G-d easr their pain....and bless Bob Bennett
You've now got the best seat to all the Giant's games.
I’m attaching two recent photos. One of my dad and me, and the other my daughter, Megan, and her grandpa. We loved him very much and will miss him every day.
Bob has talked about his site for years and many of you were like family...
Oh, by the way "Go Redskins!!"

As many of you know, Bob did not want a “funeral service”; ...he always said “have a party instead", or we should "drink a toast to him with good scotch"... so wherever you are, please make that toast this weekend, or at the next Giant game.
Family and close friends are gathering on Saturday for a farewell to Bob at Marge’s house (Bob’s sister) in Millersville, MD 2-5 pm....just a few blocks from Bob & Linda’s house.
As much as we would love to meet all of you, we can’t handle the entire BBI membership, (although from the sound of all of you, it would be one hell of a party).....but if you are close enough and interested in coming by, here are a couple of email addresses and phone numbers for more details and directions.

Expressions of sympathy can also be made to the American Heart Association
Thank you all again...
As a measure of respect, I will attempt to handle things like Bob would for the near future and refrain from any personal insults. Bob may have been one of the most tactful and kind posters on the board and his passing should initiate a change for the good.
and decent man, who was caring, friendly, and always made you feel like he had known you forever.<br>
I'll miss his wit and wisdom, golf stories, and a fellow cigar smoker. Above all I'll miss him <br>
and all his contributions to life. God be with you, Bob.<p>
I wish to offer my condolences to his wife and family on this terrible loss. Also to his good friend,<br>
partner, and fellow BBIer Bruce. May the good Lord bring you comfort in this time of sorrow. <br>
I apologize for being late to this. I was unavailable for the past 10 days<br>
or so. Thanks Larry for letting me know.
