My deepest sympathies in the loss of your father. I was fortunate to have met Bob through therapy dog visits with my dog, Kai. Kai loved Bob as much as Bob loved Kai – they had a special bond. He was an extraordinary man.

Bob was one of my favorite clients to visit. Thank you to James and him for being so kind to me while we provided services for him. I will remember him always as a kind, gentle person who always had a smile and a story to tell. Thank you for the privilege of getting to meet such a remarkable person.
