Dear Margie and Family....I will always remember the nice conversation I had with Bob this past winter at the 1955 Class Feitshans Reunion Dinner at MCL. It was so good to see him and we talked about his medical condition at that time. He was so pleasant and seemed to be at peace with what he thought the outcome would be. He was very brave and spoke highly of you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you remember him. Sincerely, Barb (Aidich) and Rich Stamer
