I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Bob. He dedicated his life to the work of God and caring for his family.
He was an inspirations to me to pursue the calling of God on my own life.
When my family lived on Agnes Street in Springfield, MA, I can remember walking with my mom to a nearby church to listen to him preach, this was probably 1953 or 1954. Down through the years he pointed many to Christ. His was a life well lived. He will always have a special place in my heart.
