It’s Not Just About the Voters
Those who vote in IRB seem to get the most attention. But, lest we forget those snowbirds who roost here every winter.
IRBeHEARD sadly acknowledges the passing of Robert Henry (75), a Beach Trail “snowbird” who, along with wife Lori, made IRB his winter home for many, many years. Bob of Queensbury, NY spent his last winter here after being diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer.
According to Mr. Henry’s obituary as published in the Glens Falls, NY Post Star “Bob and Lori spent many years at Indian Rocks Beach in Florida which they called 'Paradise' where they established many wonderful friends to whom they referred to as their second family. Bob was an avid New York Yankees fan. He lived life to the fullest and his greatest moments were on the golf course, fishing on the beach or watching the sunset and simply hanging out with family and friends.”
So, those of you who were fortunate enough to know Bob and those of you who missed out, raise a glass toward the sunset tonight and celebrate the life of one great individual who, with a choice of anywhere in the world, chose IRB as his second home.
