Merriman "Don" Diven
In my career as a federal law-enforcement officer, I knew Bob before he became a neighbor.  From the first, I was impressed with his courage and  integrity.  He stood up against political pressure and implied threats in another area.   
 As a neighbor and in subsequent business contacts Bob's intelligence, ability, and loyalty to principles, employers, family. community and country were evident and exemplary.  He was a leader who lead by example.  Even though Bob was not a docter his medical advice to me resulted in pain relief when various doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists had failed.   
 I will miss him, as I am traveling the same road and will miss his counsel.  My sympathies to his family, I understand their loss. God's peace to all.     Don
