A very Kind and Gentle man who always carried a jolly spirit. Every holiday season, he'd wonder around with his red stocking cap on spreading cheer to all. Every weekend, he'd come down the hill and visit, hang out with us & bring carrots for the horses too. Am pleased and honored to have known him as he touched us all.

Sincere condolences to the Hobb family. Last time I saw Edwina in church she came alone as Clyde wasnt up to it. Last time I saw Clyde in church he remembered me and my entire family and that was a nice feeling--Dana Williams Volponi
