Our family has always been so close! How many times were Grandma and Gene, both Wetzler families, the Allison's and the Glover's all piled into that one lake house with mattresses all over the floors and people sleeping on the screened in porch! Or gathered around a table playing cards after going to dinner together! All I have a good, fun memories with Uncle Bob and I will always think of him as a quiet gentle man. It was a pleasure being able to call him "uncle" for the past 42 years of my life. Rest in peace and without the pain and sickness you dealt with here on earth.
