Bob Knowlton and I connected only briefly via email just a few months ago. Connected by people "in The Biz," Bob made made very glowing remarks about my voice over talent and directed me to his contacts at Pastorini-Bosby who subsequently signed me as one of their VO talents.

Even thought we never met, Bob was so very kind and thoughtful to me. I had no idea he was facing his last fews weeks of life. For this Bob Knowlton will forever be in my memory. Thank you Bob. Rest in Peace.
