We know that Janelle will miss her Dad, just as his father and and I and all his family here in Iowa will miss Bob. Thanks to all Bob's friends and associates for the sympathy and caring. Keep Janelle and Bob's family in your prayers. Your concern is appreciated.

Janelle-

I can remember when your mom and dad first brought you to Iowa as a small baby to meet the relatives; your dad was so proud of you and so happy to be a father. And I know he still is. We will be thinking of you and your family and hope to see you again soon. Love you.

Thank you so much to everyone who has shown support and sympathy during this difficult time. It is appreciated more than any of you will ever know.

I put my e mail address in this entry so anyone that reads it can feel free to contact me if they have any questions/concerns, or they just want to talk.

It was amazing to see all the people who came out in support of my father to the funeral, as well as those in Milwaukee and Tosa that couldn't come to the funeral, but called me or e mailed me with their sympathy. Thank you all once again. I send my love to all of you.
