I barely knew Bob,only one of over 30 scattered cousins but stumbled onto a 1970 letter from him & decided to google him and found this. So sorry I didn't manage to get to know him more from this internet age of easy contacting, but feel I know him a bit from reading these messages. At 81 I grieve for all the younger cousins who are gone. I was Catherine Ann Naegelin, only daughter of Bob's father's older sister Marie. My condolences to all the family.
