My brother told me of your Dad's passing. Very sorry to hear of your loss. I still picture him in the park watching us play baseball.

Hope you are all well. You were lucky to have had such a great father.

Mrs.Hobin, Jack and Marianne, I am sorry to hear of Mr. Hobin's death. I always enjoyed the stories he told driving me home from high school football practice. He was truely a man's man. I hope all the grandchildren got to know him well. God did not make many like him.

Dear Marion and Family,

I just want to express my deepest sympathy to all of you and to tell you that I remember Uncle Jim as a wonderful strong, opinionated yet compassionate man. In fact, he reminded me of The Velvetten Rabbit. So "tough " and at times, "rough" on the outside, yet very fragile and loving on the inside. Much love, Marion to you and your family.
