I am going to miss you. Such a kind and beautiful soul. He loved his family, his children and he loved square dancing. He was a great carpenter and machinist. He always had a smile. I remember my first ride on a motorcycle and it was with my Uncle Bob. I will always cherish our memories. Prayers for all of his children.
