    The world has lost a great man and as most of us know a huge Cubs fan. Although I didn't get to know Bob as much as I would of liked to, it doesn't take long to figure out that you are a better person for knowing him. You can tell this from a person when you meet some of the people that he has influenced over the years. Just meet his family and you will see. We will all miss you Bob, and for those that didn't know he could bust a move on the dance floor.
