Floy, I remember the day you met Bob when he came over with the Sunday papers that first summer we worked in Houston. I am so happy for you that you and Bob had fifty-six happy years together.

How do sum up a 46 year friendship? Our families were neighbors, and best friends for 20 years and another 26 years we moved out of state. Our children grew up together. My mind is filled with wonderful memories; camping & fishing, holiday parties in our homes, the only snowfall during our 20 years there and the guys played hookie from work and we cooked fondue! when I was going through some very difficult times, Bob & Floy were always there for me. Bob was a gentle soul but a very strong & caring person. I know how difficult this is for Terry, Cindy, Stacy and especially Floy. I will continue to pray that God gives you strength through this very difficult time.

Even though I only had the privilege of sharing a single meal with your father and your family, it was very clear what a great man he was and how much you all loved each other.
