Robert Shafer – Bob – was a brave and honorable man, a fine horticulturalist and a serious poet. And he could always make me laugh.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.
I have lost a special friend,though his stories I have been to the jungles of New Gueinea,Germany, but spent most of our days in Weatherly PA. I’ll miss him so.
