Echoing my sister Judie's comments, it was always a good time visiting with Uncle Bob. His smile and laugh seemed to be always with him.

Our family has many memories of time spent with Uncle/Cousin Bob and the Margala family: Memorial Day parties, vacations at Paw Paw Lake, Sunday picnics at Burr Oak...too many to mention. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
