Joan Obits Posted 10/4/2007 Oh Bob the funniest day I remember was when you were sitting in your truck at the bank across from Gerber Life on Main street, watching the boys play solitary through the window when you came over the radio saying, HEY YOU GUYS, WHO'S winning Those 2 guys about jumped a foot in the air. I still laugh about that day. You were fun to have around, kept us on our toes and I didn't even work for you.. You were always checking in on us, just like I am sure you are now. You are missed.
