I am reading Peoria obituaries from South Tx and see where Bob passed away. I use to live in Mackinaw and was friends of Ann and Bob. Ann and I rode to work together on second shift at Cat. I am sorry for your family's loss. My thoughts are with you all. Ann, remember riding to work in the convertible and trying not to be wind blown?
