Dear Joann,
It was such a shock to hear about Bob. Joy bought Marshall's Florist 2 years ago and I'm her Business Manager. We don't know how we missed seeing the article in the paper. Joy had lunch with Marianne yesterday and she informed Joy of his passing. We feel so bad. How are you doing? Please send us your e-mail address so we can catch up on what has been happening the past 5 years. Annette

Jo, I am sorry that Bob has passed. He will always be my favorite cousin. I enjoyed all the wonderful times we spent together, as well as, the many hours burning up the phone line (thank goodness we both were on Verizon)! Bob had a BIG heart for everyone. He loved life to the fullest, and I know he isn't too far away! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Marti

Jo I am soo sorry for your loss. I can't believe Bob's gone.
When Bob and I lived in River Park we spent my hours together. Bob showed me how to play baseball in his frount yard. WE spent many days up at Tahoe hitting rocks with a stick we found.
I remember the time my Mom and Louise made Bob take my to the State Fair. He sure did'nt want to take me but he did, we both had a super time together dispite our age differances.
Grampa took all of us on a trip down south and we ended up in Mexico. The first morning we woke up early and went to the beach to play cherry bomb baseball with a mexican kid we found. LOL!!! We would light them and throw them so he could hit the cherry bomb out of the park. Than we turned our attention to a pile of cow dung with an m-80 so we could blow it up. Bob and I had a great idea before we left to buy firecrackers and hide them in the heater of the car. Good thing it did'nt get cold enought for Grandpa to turn on the heater!
All the trips up to Redding to go fishing were the best.
The time we spent on Shasta and Bob trying to get back on the waverunner will always be remenbered.
Bob we spent what time we could together and I will always cherish those times.
My God keep you in his loving arms.
Your cousin

We were shocked and saddened to see that we have lost such a good friend. We had such a good time when we met up in Florida. Bob was a great person and a wonderful husband and he loved his fishing. Joanne, we are so sorry for your loss and we would love to hear from you, we have outdated contact information. Our email is cmccle2644aol.com Lot of Love, Bill & Chris Hiller
