Roy and I are so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. Bob Sr. was surely a colorful fellow who always had a story to tell or a joke to share. We always admired the attention you gave to him and where ever you could take him , you did. He was very lucky to have you as his children. May he rest in peace. Know that our thoughts are with you.
