He was the best husband a woman could ever have. We had a great life together. We had so much fun and such wonderful times. We were fortunate to be able to travel together and Ford was a great employer. They moved us from Michigan to California, then on to Colorado, Texas, back to Michigan and finally to Georgia. We raised two terrific sons along the way, who are now wonderful men, just like their dad. Some people would hate the moving, but we loved it and lived in some great places. After Bob retired, we moved to Tellico Village, Tennessee, and then to Gaylord, Michigan where we loved living "up north". Bob was diagnosed with cancer that he fought for four years longer than the doctors gave him, but unfortunately, IT finally won the battle and Bob passed peacefully in his sleep. He was my rock, my true love, and a wonderful Christian man who is dearly missed by many, many friends and family members. I look forward to our reunion when I join him in Heaven. Laurie
