Memories and Condolences

Bob was a special guy and one who will be missed by myself and other members of the 10:00 Bent Oak golf group. He loved his golf, but I could tell that other things were more important to him. Bob played most of his golf playing with yellow golf balls and wearing his blueBent Oak golf cap. I had the pleasure of playing many rounds with Bob during the Summer and I know that I will miss him. My deepest sympathy to Ann and Heather for I know that someone as nice as Bob will be greatly missed.

I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Wroblewski. But he must have been a very special person to have raised a daughter like Heather. Please accept my sincere condolences to the Wroblewski family.
