Joey,I have many fond childhood memories of you and Bob. Great hotdog roasts and many good conversations. Children rarely tell the adults how they have infulenced them until a time like this. I appreciate how you both touched my life and the encouragement you always showed me.It has been a long fight, but Bob was always determined and positive. A great role model for all of us.I send my love to you and the boys. I look forward to seeing you on my next trip home. Andi Raleigh, NC US
Aunt Ileen, Doris, Joey and the boys, I was so sorry to here about Bob losing his fight to such a terrible disease. I am sure Mom LaJean and grandma Issy was there to meet him at the gate into heaven. Mom thought so much of Bob. She would tell me about when they were young and would play on the farm stuff out at great grandma and grandpa Shorts house. she loved those days! I pray for God to give you peace and comfort now.
