Dear Margie,
I just heard about the passing of Bob. I have so many fond memories of our teenage years and the times we spent in the garage watching Bob working away trying to talk him into a beer, out at the lake or sitting in your Mom's kitchen. What a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of loss. Love to all, Kent and Linda
