A goodbye

Sadly, we had a death in our family Friday afternoon. In times such as these, it is very difficult to find words.

A brief and totally inconclusive list of things we will miss:

1) Skip will miss your very distinct "Hello, Skip" that you greeted him with.
2) I will miss your making my mom happy (and aggravating her -- especially when the occasion called for just that).
3) Lauren will miss digging through your shirt pockets and confiscating your flashlight and other tools.
4) Gracie will miss being shy at first and then running to you with a breathless "Mis'er Bobby!".

We will miss you, and we salute you.
