[Dialogue] Bob Vance

[Jack Gilles]

Dear Cynthia,

I am always flooded with memories of our beloved community when I hear news like Bob’s passing. What a great man and colleague he was! I think you create a special bond with the person who taught your RS-I, and Bob, along with Fred Buss, taught mine on the Westside in December of 1966. Later I got to work with him a bit in the Summer programs. The second memory is when you and he came to Litibu to do birding. We all so enjoyed your presence. 

On behalf of George West and myself, we send our deepest gratitude and our deepest sympathy to you for being a life partner and caretaker for our colleague Bob. May the grace of God sustain you, along with Neil and Faith.

Grace and Peace, and Love,

Jack and George
