Sorry to read about your dad and mom. I knew your dad when we were growing up. I lived on 6th St. and Bob lived on Blish St. Went to same church so we go back a few years. Sorry did not know your mom. Never the less I knew her when I saw her. Has been sometime when I last saw Bob. May have been at the filling station on State Street. Very good picture of both parents. God Bless each of you and your family.
