We will always remember Uncle Bob, and how he taught me to walk without a limp. He was a great human being who taught us much in our formative years. He was a good friend for the rest of his life. We will miss him, I will miss him. Hope he says Hi to mom when he sees her and grandma in Heaven. We also pray that the Lord strengthens Aunt Lesley, Kim and Eloise and their families through this great loss. Love you all.
