My favorite Uncle, this was a shock I always made a point to visit him even after we moved away. If he hadn´t heard from me he would message me. His ice cream couldn´t be beat. I loved his smile and he could talk to you with the expression in his eyes. Kind and generous. I´m sure going to miss him. Courtney he was a gem.

So many memories I couldn't begin to share. My first job in Wva was Smiths Market. Bob was my boss but soon became a good friend that grew up around my Mom, so he had alot of their childhood stories that I loved hearing. We could've talked for hours. I'll always cherish those days. Rest in peace my old friend.
