Ginger, I am deeply saddened to hear about Bob. I remember so many fun times with him in the jewelry store and at the gun club. I remember during the grand opening of the jewelry store, he made sure that I had a corsage and was allowed to greet customers.I was still in high school. He and Daddy were close friends and admired each other. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children.
