December 12, 2017 at 6:24 pmOur prayers and thoughts are with each of you. Now Bob is with Dad, which is so special. I am Bob’s half brother in Colorado. As a child Bob spent time with us in Kansas, My brothers and I have special memories of our big brother. For me it was the tight legged pants, fashionable at the time, and mom tailoring those pants to Bob’s specifications. The responsibilities of life made all of us so busy and I lost touch with Bob over the years, I wish that wasn’t so. Please accept our condolences.
