Remembering Uncle Bob
How could I forget someone who gave me so much to remember! Uncle
Bob loved his family…he was an amazing cook, and a faithful Buckeye fan! I’ll miss him.
A Bright Soul
I’m so thankful that we were lucky enough to have Bob and LaGrace in our lives. Their love and laughter brightened every room they entered and will never be forgotten. May the memories of happier times bring you comfort as you grieve his loss. Love, the Brown and David families
