Gladwins: We have such fond memories of Bob--what a tease he was, along with Logan and our dad! We were sorry to hear of his passing. My mom passed this past Monday, but she was clear enough last week to understand that Bob had died. Thinking of, and praying for you all!

Mrs. Gladwin, Sharon, JoAnne and Tommy and families. I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Gladwin's death. I hope you find comfort in good memories and the love of family and friends. I haven't seen Mr. Gladwin in a long while (or any of you for that matter), but when I first met the family (1953?), Mr. Gladwin would always tease me! I made several trips to the lake with the family and he is the one who taught me to water ski by promising me a piece of watermelon!!!! Those were the good days. ...

Read of your father's death in the Star Tribune on line paper, Sharon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
We will be returning to MN by air on April 18th - have a grand daughter's 1st communion on April 20th. This is the last one. Now we are getting to the confirmation stage.
Have decided to leave a car in AZ and make the trip from now on by air.
Thinking of you!
