    Bob, Thank you for your service to our country. Comforting Prayers to the family.I have so many fond memories of Bob. I went to visit them in California & the adorable guest house was something you would expect from them! Bob & Ann & Uncle Dick came to Las Vegas when I resided there & we had so much fun & laughter! I really enjoyed the family picnics at their home in Ohio- out in the country which was a slice of heaven. Such great food & Ann's western baked beans. I've traveled the country & have never met anyone as beautiful as Bob & Ann. He loved Ann so dearly& treated her like a queen. What a love story they shared . It was an honor to know Bob & his beautiful Ann.
