Bob was a customer of mine when I worked at Dollar General in Grasso Plaza. He would come in a couple of times a week after working out and get sugar wafers. He was always so nice to me when I would see him. He stopped coming around after awhile and I always wondered what happened to him.
Rest in peace, Bob.
