I believe I'm a distance relative. Bernadine VanDonklaar was my grandmother. Ronald was my father.##imported-begin##Nancy Johnson Holstine##imported-end##
Thank You for the wonderful message Sue !!! Robert is my grandfather. What great guy !!! I'll never forget when we used to go fishing out in the boat and out on the pier with cane poles. We used to get up early in the morning to go fishing. I was lucky enough to not have to clean them !!! It was a privilege to spend time with my Grandfather a never forgetten memory that will last forever !!!##imported-begin##Brian Phillips##imported-end##
I just wanted to extend my sincere sympathy to Dorothy and family for your loss. I've lived next to Bob and Dorothy for several years. Wonderful neighbors who always extended a helping hand. One memory of Bob that comes to mind is when he was thinking about buying his own kayak. He said to me, "do you think I'm too old to kayak"? I replied "absolutely not". I believe he had a few years enjoying his own kayak. Dorothy know that I am thinking about you and want to help you in any way I can.##imported-begin##Sue Gilbert##imported-end##
