Elsie and family,
Bob was one of a kind, a very special man that we feel very blessed to know. He brightened a room with his stories, and we were always enthralled with all the things he built, fixed or made better with his creative ingenuity! Elsie, you and Bob are the epitome of good people. We are so sorry for your loss, he will be missed.
