Wanda I am so sorry to hear of Bob‘s passing. You were a special couple. Our sympathy
Wanda, Bub, Brenda, Gary, and family,
I am so sorry about Bob. Its January 8th 2021 and I just learned now of his passing.
I still remember the day years ago when I met him in Maine on a bear hunt and he invited me to come to Hartstown to go Turkey hunting. It was the start of a long friendship. I would travel there to hunt turkey and deer, golfing, and fishing in Lake Erie. He and Bub would come to Connecticut for fishing and deer hunting and our trips to Glouster for Codfish. I’ll never forget the trips to Bub’s weddings, Elmer’s barbeque’s, and working in Wanda’s greenhouses. Gary we miss your visits to Connecticut when you were a long haul trucker. Bub, remember the poncho incident on Lake Erie where you made fun of my expensive poncho while your 99 cent bargain poncho came apart in the wind? Gary your still probably laughing about the color of the dress Jason’s date wore to the prom. So many fond memories.
I would like to call and talk to one of the familty, but Im not home in Ct where my records are and I wont be there for months. Tchwritr@aol.com is my e-mail. I would love to hear from you.
