Our condolences to the families. Uncle Bob was one of a kind and has left us all with many a story and a laugh. I’ll never forget visiting him in Milo and watching him answer his “tree phone” in the backyard. He cooked up a great stew and was always happy to feed people and enjoy a few beers with. Such a character and he will be missed.
I’m so soory for your loss. Your dad was a kind, friendly man who always had a smile and a hello. I worked at the school and drove school bus and one day I stopped at his house to pick up pop can tabs. It was ‘happy hour’ with a few neighbors and he was SURE I needed to stop for a quick ‘pop’ and a visit. I have always wished I could have. God Bless and rest in peace Bob.
