Uncle Bob was like a second father to me. Many houses and places they lived over the years was places I spent time at. I would get to go and spend the night, and always without fail we would be threatened a spanking if we did not settle down and go to sleep. I have fond memories of going on adventures at their home in Reddington, playing in the desert in San Manual, and finding all kinds of creatures around their houses in Catalina.
Many family dinners over the years were held at Uncle Bob and Aunt Laverne's. Uncle Bob was strict, but loving. He was caring, giving and full of stories and takes. My heart rejoices that Uncle Bob reconciled his life with the Lord. I will forever be grateful to the Lord for my Uncle and the love and care he showed me.
