Memories from our past stay with us forever. '63 Super Sport, '72 Monte Carlo and the brown Lincoln. What else would you expect from one of the coolest guys around. Softball games, Bob and my dad going to Kansas City to help other Teamsters. One of the toughest guys around but he was always thoughtful and concerned for others. He never passed up a chance to ask about our family and how we were doing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Phil 1:3
