I was so sorry to see Bob passed away. He and Barry enjoyed time together as young boys in Lititz. Barry would tell me stories about his visits to the Shelly Lititz home. Bob’s mother, Kathryn, was a lot of fun, especially when she and Gramma got together. To his brother and sisters I send my deepest sympathy. To Dixie I think of you dearly knowing how it feels to lose the love of your life. You are all in my prayers.
