I have memories of Robert at Camp Hantesa. I vividly remember him working on a furnace in a very tight area and noticing how small his hands were. He was a joy to know. Special condolences to Linda (Kelle) and Claire. My e-mail address is suzwohelo@hotmail.com

Mr. Bickel was a favorite patron of mine at the East Side Library. He enjoyed the most current magazines and was an avid reader on many different topics. I will miss the wonder that I felt when he came into the library and I was just amazed that he actively read and his almost weekly visits. God Bless to all his family in your loss.
