knuckle Bob
As a young boy I always called him knuckle Bob he use to laugh at that. We would both joke around about this when I got older. we had lots of fun at deer camp up by Fifield Wis. laughter, jokes, and pranks around the campfire. The father and son pranks of Bob and Mike were some of the best. they could always make each other laugh. we latter spent many weekend together at lake Puckaway. Uncle Bob love to fish and nap , and sometimes nap while he fished. When we came back from fishing we would just sit around and talk our little dog Annie would always be by him getting spoiled and petted.
we miss these times Terry Diane and Annie

Some of my first memories are visiting Uncle Bob at his work where he fixed washers. He would give us a plastic coffee cup filled with water. I felt so grown up! I also remember how proud he was at my wedding and the video he took for me. I love you Uncle Bob! Love you Aunt Joyce and Mike.
