Uncle Bob was such a kind man. He was always happy, calm and loving to his family. He was so proud of his boys, David and George. He always made my mom, his sister Joyce, laugh. He and Elsie made sure to visit and speak with her often. I'll remember Uncle Bob with a smile, and today with a few tears. Love, Nan
