Uncle Bob was a truly nice human being. My memories of him stand high among memories of childhood. He was a kind person. He always listened, no matter the prattle of childhood. My deep condolences to David, Robert, Stephen and Rosemary, you were fortunate in having him as a father.

Dear Cousins:



Mary just sent me notice of Uncle Bob's death. I'm so sorry -- and I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend the services.



My thoughts are with you all -- and I hope we can see each other soon for happier reasons.



Love,



Cousin Pat
