Bob's daughter, Trish Johnson, has been babysitting our grandson, Paul, since he was 8 months old. Bob and Betty were always around and I really enjoyed their company. Bob, especially, loved to put me on and I would give it right back to him. He got the biggest "kick" out of that. He was full of live until the end. I'm told while in the hospital, he wanted to get up and go!!!! Just like Bob! I know a lot of pople will miss him.

Unfortunately, we only had the opportunity to meet Robert a couple times but we love and respect Patrick so much and all that he has done for our sister. He must have been an incredible father to help raise such as an amazing son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We are so sorry for your loss.
