To Marilyn and Blaine....I got to visit with Bob not long before his passing over at Hospitality Manor. I was glad to know that he was still mentally alert. I will think of him every time Scruffy and I walk . I'm sure Scruffy enjoyed the early morning visits with "uncle Bob". Having great neighbors and friends like you and Bob over all these years, well, thanks for being a part of our lives. Be glad that he didn't pass as early as my father did . Bob was a great guy in my book and his memory will live on always in a warm way. Take Care. I remain yours truly, Dave Oberst 11/18/ 2011
