Dear Aunt Helen...I have always known you as that and I don't ever want to change that...I was saddened to hear of the passing of my Uncle Bob... I remember all the times he called me Hienie and the popcorn that you made for me while you were all in the kitchen visiting with my mom and dad... My wife Janet and I will be married 53 years this November... You can reach me at 1-815-436-1714

I just heard from Judy Selin about Trucky's passing. I have so many fond memories of the Truckenbrodt's and Williams families growing up at Clearing Bible Church. May God be with all of you at this time.

Love & Prayers, Barb Fisher (Cherry) and Randy Fisher

Heard of the sad news of Bob's demise. He was a great friend and as I remember a great automobile mechanic. He will be missed.

Dearest Helen,
I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I remember the good times we all had playing baseball for the Ckearing Bible Church. Do you remember the Urbanic twins, Glenn Coate, Pastor Vandervene and myself, Jim Coomer? I wish I could visit with you. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
