Close Family Thanksgiving
This picture of Bob was taken at a picnic David and I had at our home this past 4th of July. We had so much fun and many laughs. Ruth and George were there with their sons Matthew and Mark, also our daughter, Lori with her children, Jameson and Destiny. As always, Bobby was the hit of the party. We could count on him to bring joy and excitement. We will miss him very much but look forward to seeing him again in glory and never needing to say goodbye to him again. We will love him forever.

Random Bouquet
One of the sweetest things about Bob was the way he would randomly present me with a fistful of flowers he gathered from somewhere. This particular one was the first of many. We were hiking the Laurel Highlands Trail in PA and I was trying to make breakfast over a smokey fire and he wandered off. I saw him out among the ferns bending over now and then - I assumed he was getting sticks for the fire - but he came back over hiding something behind his back and made me close my eyes so he could get a piece of tin foil folded into a "vase" and present them to me.
Party at George's
Soon after we began dating Bob took me to a party at George's house. Bob was wearing his kilt and there was a woman there who kept insinuating that Bob wasn't a "real man" because of his "skirt". After a couple of Rum and Cokes Bob got silly and pointed a stick at her pretending they were dueling, saying "touche" in a squeaky voice every time she tried to say anything to him. She got pretty frustrated that she couldn't get a rise out of him and eventually left him alone. Perfect example of Bob refusing to allow somebody else's "issues" ruin his good time.
