My personal condolences to you, your mom, and Jay. Your folks were ahead of me in high school, but I knew them forever, it seems, with your mom working in school when I taught there and when my kids went there. Of course, your dad was always around the area and at church. Also, you and Tim being classmates brought us together with FFA and other school activities. Anyway, I always liked your dad (and your mom). Bob was a friendly person who didn't have an over-abundance of words but just a darn nice guy with a great smile. I really like the picture of him. Unfortunately, I have already made arrangements to stay with my granddaughter next week in Minneapolis so won't be able to come to the funeral. My condolences to all of Bob's family. You will have to hold onto the memories. I know how much he meant to you. God's peace be with you. Barb Reithel
