Dear Thom & Doris, Gerry & Brenda, Carol & Tom and family, Much love goes out to your families in this time of sorrow! Mom and Dad are having a wonderful reunion. Looking down, watching over all of you and keeping you safe, while enjoying no sickness and clear minds. Playing cards, visiting friends and family - all whom we miss dearly! We can imagine Bob working in his wood shop or doing a stain glass piece with perfection. Memories: We looked forward to going to Sandy Hook on the weekend and being all-together. We had so much fun working together. Terry and I learning so much from Uncle Bob while helping build the cookhouse. Thanks for being a great teacher and super Uncle. We love fire pits to this day, thanks to Uncle Bob for making a huge fire pit in middle of all the family properties. It was a great way to finish the day being all-together, sitting around listen to great music, dancing the night away. What wonderful memories! - Posted by: Enid and Terry Cooper ( Niece and Nephew) on: May 27, 2014

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, " There she goes! " Gone where? Gone from my sight . . . that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, " There she goes! " there are other eyes watching her coming . . . and other voices ready to take up the glad shout . . . " Here she comes! " - Posted by: Christine Thibeault (Family friend ) on: May 24, 2014
