Bob and Maggie,

103, Wow! A rich full life that enriched others for that many years...and, ultimately, many more beyond that!

Although Susie did not get to meet your dad I was able to convey a few of my memories from childhood to her and, the brief lunch meeting you, I and, my brother (Dave), enjoyed with him that lazy summer afternoon at Hamilton Lake. It seemed everyone in the restaurant loved him, too! A treasure for sure!

Our deepest sympathy for your loss, but rest assured, he's pickin' right now with somebody on his knee. jimnsusiepiepenbrink
