Our Deepest Sympathy goes out to the family members of Bob Flicker. Though many years ago we frequently visited the Flicker home on Seneca Street. I remember Bob being very artistic and a very happy man. Over the years and deaths of our parents (Judi Wetherby) and grandparents (Dorie Wagner) we have all gone our seperate ways. Never to forget about those that were there in our early years. Again, our condolences to all of you and may God Bless.

Uncle Bob, My head is filled with many wonderful memories. My eyes are filled with tears. There is a hole in my heart. There is one more soul in Heaven.
