A Personal Tribute to Fr. Bob

Ona personal note FR Bob was also a friend to me (Paul Soffe) and was always encouraging me in my work. How we met I’m not going to mention here as it sounds too unbelievable!! Needless to say, Fr Bob was a real gift from the Lord to me, my family and to us all through his wonderful teachings. About our 4 daughters he said, “Each one is more beautiful than the other!” Since then, we had our fifth child a son, Romain, and one of our daughters, Joy, is now in Heaven.
