William "Bob" Redd passed away on June
25, 2010. I will miss him deeply. Bob was simply one of the
best people I ever met. He was a role model for children,
patient, generous and kind. He was one of my very best, and most
memorable friends. Even though we didn't see much of each other
over the last few years, when we did there was instant
re-bonding. He is survived by his wife, Marie Enochty, and
daughters Shayna and Gidget.
Every year, Bob and Marie would together attempt to racially integrate Cape Cod by opening
their home to many inner city kids from
Brooklyn. My kids would live as much in
their home as ours during the summers. They still talk about the
time Bob and I danced after downing a little too much of Marie's
Saki. I loved Cape Cod, for sure, but I loved Bob even
more. I will remember him, and miss him, for the rest of my life.
Here is a recent picture of Ronee, Shayna, Marie, Bob and me, taken last fall while I was temporarily living in Cambridge.
A very dear friend of
ours succumbed to cancer. This
album celebrates
Ronee's last visit with Jaci.
(It's an album with music, but depending on the speed of your Internet
connection, it may take a little while to start playing).
