Uncle bob, birthdays will never be the same without your cards and sweet words. I will miss your random history lessons and your company in my car when I picked you up. Heaven got a special gift when you entered it. See you on the other side. Love Krissy

My brother Bob and I were always sharing experiences
together - such as visiting Norway in 2006; to see our
parents birth place. He loved the outdoors. He was the one to call when you had a question or history.
Dr. Ray Newgard - proud to be his brother.
