It's been a long time but I still think of those times. I see that you have encountered another loss in your family that I was unware of, I offer my deepest sympanthy for your losses of these wonderful men.

My memories of Bob, from our days at Washington Grade School through our graduation from Bosse High School, was of a guy who was liked by all. There wasn't a negative thing about him; he always seemed to be in a good mood and greeted anyone with something pleasant. He was also amazing to me in his ability to pole vault. (I'll never understand how anyone is that coordinated!) As he has now entered Larger Life, I wish all of God's peace to his family. Rest assured, we will miss him at our school reunions.
