Condolences for Robert “Bob” C. Green
You guys all know how Bob and I appreciated our friendship. I don’t use the word “appreciate” lightly. I know few people whom I can say this about. The Green family is a very strong family in spite of losing their patriarch. Bob was one in a million and it was my honor to have worked alongside him in the phone company. Losing Major Oil was tough on us but losing Bob is a whole different ballgame. He was the best.
“Bob, please put in a good word for me. Lord knows I could use all the help I can get.”
