Dear all Hawks everywhere. Here is to the loss of Bobby Sr. This was a Man ( the Little Big Man) that always put a Smile on everyone around him. When Big Kenny passed in 1991, a beautiful Hawk flew over me and our Flag at the Warehouse and Squawked. I knew dad was home safe. Saw one yesterday, believe Sr is home safe too. I think All Hawks make People Smile. Here is to my next Sightings. RIP, Senior. Kenny and Teri Kerr Family
