The first time I met Bob was shortly after he married my cousin Betty. My mother and I were very impressed with this handsome, kind, and talented young man. He awed us withh his ability to play the accordion by ear. I have never seen him to be other than gracious and kind, and his children reflect these qualities. He and Betty created a good family and his affection encompassed Betty's relatives. In his gentleness and love of music, in his silent suffering and death, Bob was devout and truly holy in the example he set for us all. It was a privelege to have know this extraordinary man, and I will always remember him. His legacy of love will live on through his family.##imported-begin##Camilla Kari##imported-end##
