Dear Lichamer Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great uncle. Never heard a bad word come out of his mouth. We have great memories of Christmas Eve parties, the lake, and can't forget the trip to St. Louis to see the Bears. Rest in peace, and God bless. Your parents were wonderful people. Our thoughts are with you.

Hello Lichamer Cousins,
I was just visiting with my Mom, Helen, yesterday. She was reminiscing about the many good times we all had.The Flood Christmas Parties of our youth were unforgettable, many in Uncle Bob and Aunt Alice's basement. She fondly noted only Uncle Bob and her were left. He had a good run. Our thoughts are with you, Love from all the Floods.
