JoshI wish I could have been there today to remeniss about your Dad.I had many fun times at the Slinger lanes with both your Mom and Dad.You were just a little guy.It was always like a family reunuion. Bob always played" Lost in theFifties Tonight". Still, whenever I hear that song it puts me back at the bowling ally. Your Dad was a great guy and you were always #1 to him in his mind and heart.Blessing to you and your wife in the days ahead.

Deusters, All Star Lanes, softball games, your accordian, that stinky cheese you used to eat, listening to the Brewers game in your van at full volume, Farkle runs in the middle of the night, telling me and Josh "i'll knock you around the block", 7-mile fair, belt buckles.... the list of memories is endless, and I thank you for that. You'll be missed by many!
