Uncle Bob,
I’ll miss you so much. I’ll always cherish all the times me and you and aunt fredia and the rest of the family went camping together, especially when you took us all to hike into lost cove, and that time you pushed me and lora out into the middle of lake james in that canoe that had a hole in it and neither one of us could swim, I can still see the look on momas (Jackie’s)face,but you came out and got us, you laughed so hard and said Ah, it’ll just toughen you up. Donna, I know you remember that time when your leg was broke we all camped at lake james and me and you were eating those pork n beans like we were starving until we realized they we’re full of knats. It took me years to eat another can. We had many wonderful adventures with uncle Bob, just thought I would share a few.
Uncle Bob, Thank you for teaching me,Lora and Tammy Jo how to toughen up, how to fish and for loving us so much.I still fish all the time, and I’ll think of you everytime I catch a fish.
I want the family to know how deeply sorry I am for there loss and you are all in my prayers.
GOD BLESS!
