I just read about Bob's passing. I'm so sorry for all of you. I still feel the pain of my own Dad's loss, and I know how difficult this time is for all of you. I'm unable to attend the services but want you all to know that you're in my prayers and heart. Bob was a wonderful father and husband. You were all so blessed to have him in your lives. I learned so much about a loving family from spending so much of my childhood with all of you. God bless. Leslie J.
