Dear Family:
We were sorry to hear of the recent death of Bob Rountree, a neighbor in our circle of streets around his home. We would smile as we heard Bob drive around the neighborhood three times, warming up one of the white cars that rested in his drive. He didn't know us, but we knew he was up and about, and we quietly would say "Hi Bob". May God hold him in peace.
