Aunt Joyce, growing up we were always so fond of Uncle Bobby. He was just another one of the kids, only bigger. We'll miss him.

We are so saddened to hear of the loss of Bob and truly sorry for your loss. You were great neighbors for a young family to have when we were starting out. We often talk of how nice it was to start our family in that little house right between the Sheffer's and the Shepard's. Joyce, you and your family are in our prayers, God Bless.
