Knew him as Uncle Bob, met him through my Aunt Willia. Last time I saw him was in 2019 at the Dillard-Allen-Jackson family reunion here in Dayton. Enjoyed seeing him and Aunt Willa at the swap-meets and then later at Wal-Mart where Larry took them on Saturdays. Uncle Bob was a quite, gentle man. I will carry fond memories of him in my heart.
