Years ago Bob Dempsey called on my Dad --Jerry Bagley , Jerry's Electric in DeWitt Iowa as a salesman for Republic Electric. I know my Dad always thought he was a great guy. My Dad passed away in 1983. Our family has always remembered "Bob Dempsey" from those days and have even talked about him not that long ago.
Our thoughts are with your family.
