I am so sorry to hear about Bob´s (Bobby to me) passing. Bob and I were the youngest of the cousins so we would hang out together whenever my parents Alfred and Freda (Ellis) Lyscio would bring us to visit Wasco. He will be missed by all who knew him and his gentle heart. My prayers are with the family. Pat (Lyscio) Oder
