Lyn, Robby, and Christie: So sorry to hear of the loss of cousin Bobby. It has been quite a while since we were in contact, but I often wondered how he was, where he was, and how things were going. We spent many summers together on Vincent Ave: swimming in Lake Harriet, Millers/Saints games, fireworks on the 4th at Lake of Isles, harassing Jean and Janet (and Tom),being harrassed by Paul, Great meals by Helen, visiting the "Club" and Charlies and BB games with Frank; those were the days. That must have been quite a reunion with Frank, Helen, and the twins? My sincere sympathy to you and to Paul and Helen Ann.

To Lynnette, Christie, and Robbie: From golfing at Hazeltine, and all the Manitoba courses we played as well as the Viking games we went to Bob was always fun to be around. Then there were the card games when Bob and Lynn Mom and I would play whenever they were home for Xmas. We would play late in the evening and then they would carry Robbie and Christie out to the car and back to the hotel. These games were a lot of fun and very competitive, but it never mattered who won in the end. Bob was one of the best and will be sadly missed. Kathy and I offer our sincerest sympathy to the entire Martin family.

To all the Martin family we pray that the love of friends and family will surround you during this time of loss. I went to school with Bob and he was diligent in keeping in contact with me and even enjoyed a view visits in the last 10 years here in the SW. He truly was a man who loved his family and friends and I will miss getting those calls from him. We had many good time together during our school years and he remembered them well. Our thoughts are with you all.
