I have a photo that Bobby sent to my Mom (his aunt Alice) when he was in the Air Force. Except for his silver hair, he still looked like that photo when I saw him this year. Of all us cousins, he was the oldest, the first to grow up, first to leave home, first to get a job. Now he’s gone first, again, to check things out for the rest of us. Thinking of all the Primers with love, Marilyn.

Frances, Robin and Cathy, I am so happy that I had the chance to get to know your husband and father. He was a really sweet person who was a pleasure to get to know.
Love to you, Ruthie
