What a beautiful way to remember Uncle Bob! When I look into his eyes and jaw set, I am reminded of all the Hamers men and women, my own dad Howard and my Aunts and Uncles who I loved. Thank you for posting this special on-going tribute. Niece Sandra Hamers Pavick

Uncle Bob, as a kid growing up I always remember your smiling eyes. I thought it was fun to have a "young" Uncle. You seemed quiet and gentle. You will be forever missed. Your family in California is deeply saddened. Love, Sandy
