3. Homeless - What about Bob

I'm sorry to post this here, but the article you wrote on the homeless man Bob had been archived. That homeless man was my dear uncle. My Mother and I only learned of his death after many years of searching and wondering about him when we typed in his name and birthdate on ancestry.com, the social security death index came up on him showing he passed away in January of 2009. We had not heard from him since 1997, his number had been changed.

Bob was a very smart man, he worked for a big finance company in CA, had an excellent income and was living a normal life in Nevada until his mother past away. He went into a severe depression and began having schizophrenic episodes. He eventually got on medication for it that really helped him manage it. About 5 years later his world completely fell apart when his father died suddenly when a tractor trailer lost it's brakes down a hill and ran a red light, Bob went off his medication, my mother pleaded with him to take his medication, within a matter of days Bob was not himself. That was the last we heard from him.

I would love to hear more about him if you would be so kind to do so. If you could please private message me I would greatly appreciate it. (Having just registered it will not allow me to message you).
