We will miss "Dad" deeply. What a mentor for so many in life. To overcome the obstacles that life threw him was amazing. He rose above and beyond them. His positive outlook on life was priceless. His involvement in the grand kids lives was second to none. He was always there. "Mom" know you are in our thoughts and prayers and will always be. We pray for your kids and grand kids, that they find the strength and direction in these confusing days. Know we love Dad and yourself.

Aunt Linda
 Uncle Bob was such a great uncle to us. You both were such a blessing to all 4 of us thru both Mom & Dad's death in the last five years. I still can picture Uncle Bob turning around and saying he had to go back and say goodby to his brother Jerry one more time. We will miss Uncle Bob so much. Just remember that he is in heaven with dad and his buddies having coffee. They are at peace. All of us are here for us just as you were for us. Love you lots.
 Cousins
 Just give us a call in you need anything.
