Dear Susie, Julie, Barb and Tim,
I'm sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I always liked being around Uncle Bob, especially during those family picnics at each other's houses. He'll be missed, but certainly not forgotten. Best wishes to you and your families.

Susie, Julie, Barb, and Tim,
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Bob's death, he was a winderful person....I will always remember his sense of humor. He and Dad were so close that it was kind of like having Dad around a little longer.
