I have such wonderful memories of my summer visits to my Uncle Bob's house, the player piano, the train set, climbing stairs and running around the backyard with the "wiener" dogs! Here's a picture of your great nephew, Brian, my son, and his son, your great, great nephew Blake. Thank you Uncle Bob for all the memories. I loved you very much, Debbie

When I think of all of the people who made such a difference in my life, Bob is there. He was there to pull my wagon or sled after work most every day from the time I was two. I grew up with a next door grandpa who taught me to fish, ice skate, do well in school, and value healthy political discourse. Bob never was too busy to listen to a little girl who was just a neighbor, and worried about my safety when I became more independent by offering me the "Bonnie" to drive. My condolences and love to Mary, Alan and the rest of his family. Bob was a larger than life person and will be missed. I will do my best to remember what he taught me and pay it forward.
