Robert Kristoff

Photo of Bob roaring past the Agnew House (Happy Home) one hot summer day, probably 1969. I first met Bob when I was a kid growing up at Happy Home with my grandparents, Marvin and Ruby Hamilton. The park naturalist, Steve Vandenbark lived up the lane from us at Odie Miller´s beautiful old farm. During the summer, I would help out at the park and Bob would occasionally put me to work making wood signs at the shop on his property. Bob was a funny, skilled and interesting guy and Southern Illinois is a better place because of him.

MELLISA, ANNA BELLE, JANICE AND FAMILY
I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT BOB'S PASSING.
I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE THERE, I MISS EVERYONE SO
MUCH. DEEPEST SYMPATHY.
LOVE JUDY
