Love you and miss you Bob. So many fond memories but the one I always laugh about is when you would call Ashley "Blondie" and it would make her so mad. She was pretty young and didn't know why you would call her that when she had brown hair. You were a wonderful husband and father. We were all blessed to have known you.
