I am not sure why, but the messages left by my sister and me do not appear here now. They were added the day after his death. I want to renew those entries now. I was his first born child in 1951(Bobbie Jean Vanhoose).My sister (Yovonda VanHoose) was born five years later in 1956. We only lived with Dad until I (Bobbie Jean) was nine years old and my sister Yovonda was 4. Those early memories with him and Mother living in Columbus, Ohio, were precious. We may not have always been near him, but he was and will always be our only Dad. I (Bobbie Jean) have one son (Sam) and my sister Yovonda has triplets -(Elise, Kathleen, and David). These 4 grandchildren are his blood legacy. I know he is proud of them. See you one day, Dad.
