Bob Holmes

I did not know Bob Holmes. I am Rosie Evock's granddaughter. I have heard a few stories lately. I did not know his name. When the two of them were marrief. But people grow softer. So to speak in their older years. Maybe? I did get the pleasure of knowing my aunt Barbie Holmes. I thought she was the greatest and the most beautiful lady when I was a child. So, he had a beautiful daughter. God rest their souls. I am sorry for the families loss.

I knew Bob from my years in bookmaking-always there to help
Last of the true bookmakers. He will be much missed
