Uncle Bob was a very special man in my life. I loved visiting him and my Aunt Katy when I was very young. He always gave me silver dollars and let me feed the chickens (a big treat for a city boy).



I came to visit him just two weeks before he died and he gave me family information that I had never heard before.



I loved my Uncle Bob and will always remember him in my prayers.



I am sorry that I cannot be with my cousins, Johnny and Bobby at this time, but I will pray for them also.



Love,



Bill Gallaty
