Bob was a good friend of my dad's and he was always there for him. Helping him in every way he could and all the more as dad got to where he was unable to do for himself. Bob would take him to the VFW meetings. Bob was the last of the six pitch players who got together almost every Sat night in the 90's they were Bob and Ann, Bob and Bethel, and Joe and Wilma. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Judy and family you all are in our thoughts and prayers. God be with you giving you strength and comfort in your time of grief.
