I WAS so shocked to hear of Bob Hill's death (BEN, Saturday). My husband always bought his paper from him when we came into Bolton. He was such a lovely man, always giving you smiles and joking with you. Things will never be the same without him. We shall miss him terribly. He was like a friend and much more than just a paper seller.

A very saddened
