Wendy, Dick, Abby and Tucker, Our hearts are sad for you all, and for Lizzie and Scott too. Bob was sweet and fun and feisty and a Header all wrapped up into one package! He loved you all and was so proud to boast of your accomplishments! I love that he always knew me as "Wendy's playmate," ha, how I chuckled after all of these years to hear him say that. God speed, Dad-of-my-friend, God speed. Love to you all, Merry, Dana, and all of our family
