Tributes
Leave a tributeMutsy never did catch that football in the front yard games. Bob never did get the hang of that old Husky 250 I sold him and kept trying to break his neck out back of the house riding trails. Surely no more shooting cans out back of the house. Good times for sure.
Mabes, I hope you are well and that you know we all (Steve, John, Mark, Mike, Dalhoun, Fred, Teri and me) have a lot of great memories that you, Bob and Pearl created for us. One more toast for Pearl, Mutsy and now Bob. All gone but never forgotten. Here's to all of you! Warmest regards, Schroeder
Leave a Tribute
Bob was a very good friend to me for a very long time! He was like family. He would always help me when I would ask, fixing something, plowing snow. He'd tease me, but he'd be there. I had fun asking for help cause I knew he would give me a hard time. It was fun. I moved to California about 30 years ago, but I came home practically every year and I'd see Bob too. He'd come over to my mom's to visit and usually with donuts. Once my mom passed away I didn't make it back so often, so I lost touch with Bob for a while.
I was just back in Michigan the end of September. I called Bob, and there he was as if no time had passed. We had a couple of real nice visits catching up on what's been going on in both our lives. I am so thankful we did! I am going to miss Bob. He'll be in my heart for the rest of my life. Rose Cohen Undem
