I am very sorry to read of Bob's passing. I was a pesky neighbor child that Bob allowed to ride bikes on his long-driveway. In fact, I learned how to ride a bike on his driveway. I spent many hours at the Wells house, sitting on the front porch just talking with Virginia, riding a three wheeler, playing tennis and singing to the Rolling Stones with Jody, and then Bob...well he always had a smile and a laugh as he poked fun at me about something. They took me to the county fair in Clark County I believe it was one year and I thought I was such a lucky girl. Felt like I went out of state. Funny how the memories come back. All my love to the family, Meredy DeBorde Fisher.
