Henry Thoreau said "Time is but
the stream I go a-fishing in....." Say a prayer that Bobby can be
fishing again soon.... Their wait continues but each of you have made is easier
through your kinds words, thoughts, prayers and generous donations.
Little did we know two weeks ago where this journey was going... and although
it has only just started each of you has been instrumental in making this
journey and the waiting so much easier....
I received an interesting call from
"the other Robert" at Christ our King. Apparently when trouble
was brewing in school and Robert was in trouble, Bobby would tell the nun it
was "the other Robert" every time. Amazingly enough, the
"other Robert" was still willing to call and support Bobby... That is
friendship!
Another friend from Delaware said
"I worked with Bob at the County for many years. When
folks reminisce about the "good old days" and the fun times in the
City/County building, I think of the decent people like your uncle Bobby.
We used to talk about boating on the Elk River, raising a family and
occasionally, he'd give me a ride home when he lived in my neighborhood in
Bear."
And another one.... "I
worked with Bob at NCC in Accounting 15 years ago. We had some great
times, he was always the life of the party....even if there wasn't one!
Those were the days and we look back on them with fond memories and lots
of laughs."
I
though I would add in a family photo (sorry Sarah... you were still a glimmer
in Mommy's eye!)
