Sending our deepest sympathy to the entire family. We always enjoyed talking to Bob. One Sunday at church, Bob came and sat down be side me.He told me, now don’t tell Tom, but I’m going to give you a kiss, I wasn’t sure if he meant it, Well he opened his hand and gave me a Hershey Kiss. We had a good laugh. He sure was a character.
So sorry to hear about your dad. Your parents were so special. It was always a special treat to run into them where ever we went. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
