Bob found a supportive community in the Cora B. Whitney apartment residents when he moved in following the passing of his wife. He enjoys participating in the community garden created by Shires’ SASH coordinators where he plants tomatoes and bright Gerbera daisies in honor of his late wife.

“If it wasn’t for Shires Housing, we wouldn’t be living in a nice apartment. It feels familyish around here. All the kids know each other and play together. There’s a little backyard and I love that. So do my children. They are landlords who you can get along with.”
