This is shocking news.
Bob was a new neighbor to the South Side, in a sense. He opened a business on East Carson. He was the one who generally cuts my hair.
The last time I went into the shop he told me a story of walking to a dog owner, stricking up a conversation and then he made it clear that the shit from his animal needed to be pulled off the ground, without question. His kid plays here and for some time, (weeks / years), his habits haven't been appreciated.
He was direct. No nonsense.
Bob is going to be missed, greatly.
Sounds as if he had a massive heart attack. The day before his hands and feet had some swelling. He didn't feel as if he needed to go to see a doctor.

Julia is my neice and her and Bob spent sometime with me and I am so very blessed to have his light come into my life. He was a good father, husband and friend and we very much missed. Thank you so much for showing him as the man he was and will always be.
A let it be known post was removed from this thread by the blog owner as it was from an anonymous source and wasn't backed up with a link to the claim from the cause of death. Do either of the above and then re-post if you feel it necessary to dance on the dead's grave.
