I got the pleasure of meeting Bob Little through his son, Joe. There were several occasions that Bob and I got to share a Spring Training baseball game together out here in Arizona. During those occasions, I got to know Bob as an intelligent, thoughtful, caring man who loved life.
My favorite occasion was when my girlfriend Sandee and I were going to meet Bob and Joe at the Surprise Stadium (Surprise, AZ) for a Rangers Spring Training game (March 11, 2017). Unfortunately, Joe was ill and couldn't make it, so Sandee and I met Bob there and enjoyed the day.
We watched the game, but Bob spent a lot of time talking with Sandee and getting to know her. Top of the 9th, Sandee and I decided to beat traffic, and we said our 'goodbyes' at our seats. Bob looked at me, saw that Sandee wasn't looking, looked back at me and gave me the big 'thumbs up'! I smiled and nodded. Sandee and I got engaged that evening. =)
Bob will be greatly missed by so many, including me. My most heartfelt condolences to the entire family. God bless you, Bob. May you enjoy your time in Heaven, until we meet again.
