    To my cousins Patty and Bob, may God fill your hearts with peace and love, warm memories and gladness for the man, your dad, my uncle Bob. I have so many fond and happy memories of our years growing up together. It's hard to believe it's been over fifty years ago we were getting together for Thanksgiving, Christmas and just to hang around. Uncle Bob was a tech giant for his time and I was so impressed with his stories from Bell Telephone and all the gadgets he worked around (computers the size of warehouses!). I had my first steak dinner at your house and I remember your dad cooking on the outside grill. May he rest in peace.

    I am so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. May the God of all comfort sustain you as you await the promises found at John 5:28,29 and Rev. 21:4 where God promises to do away with all the things that cause us suffering and pain including death here on the earth forever. (Psalm 37:29) It is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family at this time. Lauraj
