Roger, John, and I send our deepest condolences. We loved Grandpa very much and will miss him. We always enjoyed spending time with him and Grandma (Mary). He was a true blessing to our blended family. We are sorry that we are unable to travel to Ohio at this time, but Grandpa and all of you will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

My favorite moment with My Uncle and Father (twin brother) was when Uncle Dick came to celebrate their 65th birthdays together! I hired a “cleaning Lady” to come visit. . . My Mom and Aunt Lily’s got all upset when Uncle Dick and Pop’s eye popped out when she started to clean! Rest in piece my Dear Uncle . . swap stories with Pop and Jack! Bobby!
