Uncle Bobby was my only blood related uncle. He sent me a tiger that roared while he was in the service in Germany, he took me for rides in his cars & trucks ( & his shoulders) and hikes as a child. He was always ready to help me out.He was a constant tease too! Bobby worked hard all his life, (taught his kids to do the same), & made a great life for his wife & family. I will miss him dearly!
