Dear Robin and Family, your Dad was a good friend of my family and best buddies with my Dad, Bob Weaver. I have many fond memories of him giving us haircuts and going hunting with my Dad, Uncles and me. He was a lot of fun and a great person. Coincidentally, my wife Kathy (Doney) Weaver is also related to the Hockenberry family of Butler County and Bob was a great help in researching this connection.
My sincerest condolences are with you and your family now. God Bless.
