We have fond memories of Bob at the North High baseball games. The Ohlands were an assett to the team. They never missed a game, always were positive and had the team over to swim.
Recently, we spoke to Bob at Senior Star. In fact he sat at my mom's table for meals. We enjoyed him. Unfortunately, we did not know his last name and did not make the connection. He told us to just call him Bob whats his name. It is too bad as we would have had some fun times reminiscing. We are sorry for your loss. Bob looked so young.
