Dennis Jones's Album: Wall Photos

Yolanda and I met Bob shortly after he and Claudia got together. Claudia is one of my oldest and dearest friends so it was natural that we would get to know and spend time with Bob. He and Claudia visited us several times in Colorado, the first in winter when we took them snowshoeing, something Bob took to right away, enjoying being out in the forests and snow-covered Colorado trails.

Another time they visited during the summer Yolanda and I were able to share our tiny cabin in western Colorado with them. We sat on the deck overlooking our tree-covered land and creek on a beautiful summer afternoon sharing delicious food from our favorite Szechuan restaurant. Bob, Claudia and Yolanda later fell blissfully asleep in the warmth of the afternoon. (Photos attached.)

We had the pleasure many times to visit them in San Francisco where we always shared meals, wine, restaurants, great conversation and occasional movies. Frequently these visits began one of our extended trips out of the country. One particular memory is when our visit coincided with the movie Bob participated in that dealt with the credit defaults and other economic shenanigans of the mid-2000's. What a privilege to meet so many other of his and Claudia's friends who together basked in his temporary "movie stardom". His warmth, his intelligence and especially his dedication to social justice will be greatly missed.

Dennis Jones and Yolanda Marshall
