I think of Mr. Sis as the bedrock of the Sis family and Holy Innocents School. His inspirational talks to the students impressed me when I visited years ago. May Our Dear Lord console and inspire each and every one of you and help you to carry on in your father's memory.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Bob Sis. I always enjoyed my conversations with him at our annual September events at Woody and Rae's cabin. I know he was very special to his grandchildren. May he Rest In Peace.
