Hi, I am Laurie's (Lauren) Goodall's adopted family from Texas. I have heard so many stories about you and wish I could've met you. You and Lois raised a hell of a daughter and I am grateful everyday when I see her. RIP

Uncle Bob - I know it's been forever since I've seen you but you will always be a part of my heart. I remember all the times growing up when we would go for a ride on your airplane, or play hide-n-seek in your HUGE house, with all the kids. Those are memories you gave me and will live in me forever. May your spirit live forever in ALL of us. I love you and Thanks for the Memories.
