On Sunday Afternoons we always looked forward to "Mister Bob" coming to our house. Here he'd come with "goodies" to eat and then we'd sit on the front porch. He was family to us! We'd sit on that porch and could talk for hours! I'll never forget...we weren't home one Sunday so he hung a homemade loaf of bread on the door and left. Well, the cats got into it and by the time we got home we had a half eaten loaf of bread hanging there. I had to pick on him and told him I liked the bread but if he wanted half of it, he could have just kept it for himself..hehe Talking to Mister Bob was just like talking to my Daddy. I could tell him anything. "Mister Bob"...Don't worry...I'll pass on down, all those wonderful funny stories we shared. You have no idea how much we will miss you!! To Virginia and Family.....He loved you all so very much!!! and You know how special he was to Dwayne, me and the kids! Love You All!
