I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

My deepest and sincere sympathy to Bobbie, John, and their family. Bob holds some of my fondest memories of living on Columbia Avenue. He and Mary and I sort of adopted each other to fill the voids of our close family members who either lived far away or were gone. I will treasure my time with both of them. He taught me so much about buildings and saved me a lot of money by being the sidewalk superintendant for my many projects around the house! He is now at peace with his beloved Mary, two very special, wonderful people I am glad to have been able to share some time with. I will truly miss my conversations with him, my dear "surrogate father."

Bobbie,



This is Dorothy, Lucille's daughter. I just by chance sent a letter to Leona, last week, as I hadn't heard from her last Christmas, & she just sent a note which I received today that told me the sad news of Uncle Bob's passing.



I am so sorry, I know we haven't corresponded over the years. Your Dad was really the only Uncle we knew from Mom's side growing up, Louie was so very fond of him. I know your Dad always wanted the best for us, & was a good support for my Mother. He was a wonderful man. I'm sure you were very proud of him.



I am sorry for your loss, but now he is w/ your Mom. My prayers go out to him & your family.
