I'm deviating from my usual picture of the week to post this short slide show. Our neighbor & friend Robert,  R. J. "Bob" Bandler was killed by the police last Sunday November 17th 2013. Bob was a tormented soul. He was also an alcoholic. We were awoken at 3:13 in the morning by a single gun shot. And soon learned Bob was dead. This is my tribute to this misunderstood soul who I have known for 38 years. He was the talk of the neighborhood and to many was known as "Crazy Bob". But not to me or my wife Ann. He was just Bob.
