I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I can remember him as far back as a little girl growing up in Nashville, TN when he and Mildred used to visit my grandparents and her Uncle Walter. My relationship then extended as my husband and family moved to Indianapolis and touched base with Mildred and Bob. Bob was always smiling and always soft spoken and very comfortable to be around. I will miss him, he always made sure to make contact on his return trips to Indianapolis. May God comfort you as we mourn his presence with us.

I will never forget all the wonderful times that we spent together in the 60's and 70's in Indy. I enjoyed our many wonderful conversations and I considered you my brother-in-law, just as your brother Joe was and still is. You will be forever missed until we meet again in Heaven.
