I was indeed saddened to learn of the recent passing of Bob Melton. Bob was one of the finest co-workers I ever knew and it was my privilege to work with him on many occasions during our years at CT&T and Sprint. He was such a gentleman and always very knowledgeable and helpful whenever I had a question or needed assistance. My prayers are with his family — may you be comforted in the knowledge that Bob is in the loving care of our Heavenly Father. Robert Voigt
