Dear Grandma,
We wish we could be there to help you during this difficult time. This candle is our way to show our love and support.
To Graham, Art, Liz and Charlie-I’m so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I have many fond memories of playing with Bob both at Rexhame and Ripley Dr. When I saw his smile in the picture, I was reminded of all 4 of you and your smiles!
My condolences to Rose as well. I’m very sorry for your loss.
Much Love,
Robin
Bob was one of the best people I’ve known. We spent many hours and days birding around New York State and the country. He was a great traveling companion, always easy-going and excellent company. He is dearly missed.
