Both of our spouses were gone, so we looked forward to spending every Sunday and every Wednesday together. He was not only my brother but my best friend, as well.
Coming from the same household we totally understood one another.
I respected his intelligence and
made use of his guidance often.
I miss him terribly already.

Our love and condolences to Joyce and Craig, Brad and Mary, Dave and Karen...

Warmly and lovingly remembering Uncle Bob ...
All of the good times on the lake, Sunday rides in the car ....
" Yep... Yep ... Yep!"
.... Will be a phrase I remember with a loving smile, which "Mac, Yone and Yone Sr" each took their turns saying after a delicious Sunday meal prepared by Grandma ??????!! ...
Fond memories of many interesting, lively conversations from a man who knew about anything and everything !!!!
As I am certain Uncle Bob is reunited with my own father once again...I know "Mac" is happy to have his brother in law ...one of his best friends from their lifelong friendship trio of "The Bobs" back home with him once again. ??
Warm thoughts, prayers and love to you all,
Carol and Dave Lindsay
