Being a great Cubs fan, I remembered his playing days and Bob was so kind. He autographed a photo of himself standing by the ivy at our beloved Wrigley Field which I cherish to this day.

He signed my cards and wrote that he was dying so if I had any other card that I wanted signed, he would love to do so, but please hurry. What an offer, what a guy!
