Default A Dear Friend

Bob ...

Was a master carpenter , a wood magician .. Taught me a lot in the twenty or so years I had the honor of knowing him ..

We saw him a couple weeks ago , and he was in good spirits .. He had open heart surgery twice , and after the second , they gave him ten years and no more , said couldnt do another surgery , he got almost fifteen on the second surgery ..

Passed in his sleep last night .. Was from WV originally , and will be cremated and wants his ashes returned to WV .. Hopefully I will do that mission ...

77 years old , USAF veteran , a true gentleman ..

My condolences on the loss of your friend. As you're standing the flag line, please give him an extra salute for me.
