Bob was always a fun person to be around. He was probably the best known person I had ever met. I remember walking into a restaurant in Mexico with him (50 miles from his Texas home) and most of the people in the restaurant greeted him by name. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He is now playing golf with the angels, shooting pool and listening to the Cubs game, all at the same time. Rest in peace, Uncle Bob. We will miss you. Your namesake, Gerald Robert Monk and wife, Eloise.
