"Hello all, I didn't address this to anyone in particular because I knew Bob and his brothers and sisters pretty much all my life. We've all experienced ups and downs over the years, as Bob did also. The one thing that set Bob apart from others was his attitude of "keepin' on". The Wieskamps have always been my friends. I will remember Bob and his family in my prayers. Blessings to you all, Joe Beckey"
