John, Bob had hip replacement surgery the day of your Dads services. He was very upset when he found out about his passing. He didn't know it and felf so bad. We don't know how to reach you. We know you and Dana moved to Lake of the Ozarks somewhere. Hopefully you read this and know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob suffered mutiple small strokes on both sides of his brain either during surgery or in the hospital. Doing better everyday. He is home so if you read this, give him a call. (913-422-3083). He would love to hear from you. In Christ we love, Bob and Twyla Kitchen
