  3. I went on several ATV trips in Mattawa, with Bob, cleaning the trails.
    He was one of the nicest guys that I could have ever rode with, and when we used to ride with Sue, it was always so comical because he used to tease her and get her all hot and bothered.
    After he left Mattawa, it was not the same at all riding on the trails, as I missed him very much.
    My very sincere condolences to Sue and the Family.
