I heard a man running intellectual circles around another...so,I whispered to the book store attendent, "Who is that?" He replied, "Bob Passantino, you should introduce yourself." So I did. An hour later I walked out to my car eyes wide open! I scratched my head is awe that such a man existed. What shocked me even more was Bob cared enough about our conversation that he continued calling. Always inquiring, probing and leaving me with more mental food than I could chew-on and digest. Bob was pleaure to talk with and I will remember him as the man who chased truth and combated lies!
Though I didn't know him well, I will miss him like I did. He had that kind of effect on me.
My heartfelt condolences to Gretchen and children.
Deepest blessings,
