My deepest sympathies to Robert's family. Keith and I will miss him sitting on his front porch watching, and feeding the birds. It was an honor to know him.

Marvin and family, so saddened for your loss. I talked to Bob last summer and sent him pictures Jimmy had taken at your Mom's funeral. I am so glad he got those. I have fond memories of your family and the house in Millbury. Bob was one of the good guys in this life. In sympathy, Gayle Ogle Smith, Battle Creek, MI
