September 29, 2025 at 11:49 amUncle Bob you will be missed. Always a smiling face when we visited. I remember meeting Bonnie, Deanna, Debbie and yourself on a trip up to Alma. I was 16 years old and loved meeting your family. We always tried to visit your family when we came to Alma. Rest in Peace along side Aunt Bonnie.
Love you
