My condolences to you all, and my thoughts will be with you through this time. I am very grateful, and thankful, for working with Bob for three years at Tip Top Tailors. He was instrumental in my professional development, but more importantly so in how to act, how to enjoy life, and how to treat others. A very kind man, always quick with a joke and smile. I will miss him very much, and consider myself a very lucky person for having had him a part of my life.
Take care.
Christopher Hallett.
