Great guy. I've known Mr. Bob since I was a kid. He was the Post Master in Abbeville for a long time. He would do whatever it took to help a Veteran get problems worked out with the VA or anyone else they had trouble with. When my Dad passed away he was a big help to my Mother getting things worked out.
