Dear Caroline,

What a wonderful man Bob was. Hard working, a true gentleman, very loving towards you, and with a wonderful sense of humor. I have many happy memories of Bob and Russ when I visited Bridgman, staying with my Grandparents during the summer months many years ago. May Russ and Bob be together and Rest in Peace.

I am looking forward to seeing you in October when my wife Dorothy and l visit Bridgman.

Jim C Gajniak: one of my earliest memories of Bob was when he was A very young boy, probably around five years old; he would be with his parents when they drove over to my grandparents dairy farm to buy a gallon of milk. I stayed with my grandparents-Joseph and Sophie Mikel-during the summer and I would talk to Bob and his parents. They were a very happy family.

I am so sorry to hear that Bob passed away. I learned a lot from him and appreciated his time and support given to Berrien County 4-H over the years. I will miss his smile and jokes. My sincere sympathies to Caroline, Rick, Angela and Isabel. Deb Barrett
