My Uncle Bob was indeed the finest Father and Uncle a family could ever have. God will have a Perch Pond for his fishing adventures. In 1987 Uncle Bob took me fishing, he decided to make a change from Montrose Harbor to St. Joe Michigan. We both caught the largest two Rainbow Salmon in just 20 minutes.

Uncle Bob was the ultimate story teller. He would tell real life story's about my mother and father that my brothers and sister will never ever forget. He was the real deal baby. He has a place of his own in eternity.

Aunt Ebie, you know that Mark Halvorsen has profound memory's of your main man. I know you know that he is one happy soul fishing in his own pond. Susan, Cindy, Willie, Jodi and Lisa know too that your dad emotionally made people feel better. I love you Aunt Ebie.
