"Bob has been our neighbor since I was in the 5th grade He and his family were always so kind to our family. I was back home during the fair in July and got to visit with him talked to him about his garden. When we were kids my sister and I got a Rabbit named Bubba. One day Bubba got out of his hutch and bounced right into Bobs garden, Bob always would tell us girls.."the next time that rabbit gets in my garden!! He's goin in the stew pot!!" He will be so missed.. he was so kind. "
