Dear Eileen, Michael, John and all of your children,
You were truly blessed to have such an amazing father. The love and example he and Aunt Alice gave to you made you the wonderful people you are today. Uncle Bob literally worked his way up for conditions none of us could even fathom, and graced us all with love and kindness. He was a great man, and is with Alice now, smiling down upon you. Truly, a life well lived.
