Sherri,

Just heard this morning of your father's passing. May you and your family be comforted with all the good memories you have of him.

Bob was an old-timer of the community-but he seemed young.
He thought like a true American and always waved when I would drive the tractor by his house.
He had a happy and joyous attitude about him.
I will miss his kind way.
