Rob,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Father. You were a devoted son visiting your parents frequently in LaGrange. I know you must be proud of all that your Father accomplished in his lifetime. He lived a full and active life with many wonderful sports and hobbies to keep him busy. As his son, I know your Father must have been proud on you and your drive in life. You are very intelligent and a wonder on the computer! You have many hobbies and interests to keep you busy too. In some ways, you are very much like your Father. Cherish his memories as I am sure that you will. Looking forward to seeing you back at the Rapids soon. Miss you, Vicki Klaas
