Bob and i go back to the 2nd grade, we have had many many laughs through those years. mostly anything i have had happened in the past bob was part of the memories. bob lived with me at my moms home for a couple years, he was family, i had even went in the marines a bob still lived there when i was gone, so he was a big part of my familys life also. i remember calling home from boot camp and bob answered the phone, and i thought to myself, i wish i was back home with you havin fun and he said i gotta move, your dads movin back home, ( ha ha). me and bob where like brothers growing up. jeanne and bob and i even hung out together before her and bob where an item. we were always gettin some good laughs. those were the good times in my life and it was because bob was a part of it, he had alot of nick names through the years, ( lonesome bob runnin on E) they used to call carl jnr (spike) so bob was also known as (nail). bob used to make me laugh starting in fruitport and i would laugh all the way to the first light in grand haven and then he would let out one laugh like (hu, hu) and then i would laugh even harder and then both of us would be laghing like crazy for another half hr. I remember me and tom alder and bob always going to the bowling alley on harvey in the winter and on the way to the car me and tom would start running to the car and get in and lock the doors and bob would throw snow balls at us and we would chase him from light to light in the parking lot and he would nail us with snow balls. i started playind football in 8th grade and bob never knew but he taught me alot cause he played all his life so i watched what he did and i would do the same. we played next to each other on both offense and defense and then only on defense cause i got kicked off of offense for laughing with him to much. i could go on for hours about bob and i and how big of a part he played in my life, our prayers and thoughts are with jeanne, jack and krissi and the rest of the family. bob we love you and were going to miss ya, see you on the other side brother. jack and sylvia , drew mead##imported-begin##jack mead##imported-end##
