Speaking his word was Bob’s well-known trait
I admired him for how he could keep things straight.
Pity parties he could have had—for his failing health,
But never once did I hear, those words come out of his mouth.
Endless conversations we had, by phone making many a plan,
He told me history, having witnessed much at 91—he spied the Klu Klux Klan!
Caring for each other, his dear wife Lois, was true to the end,
Married 67 years—not only lovers, but obviously also his best friend.
In his working years, dirt work and heavy machinery were his trade,
Moves all over the country—from New Mexico to Nebraska friends were made.
Amazing describes watching him, drive his lawnmower knowing he lacked eyesight,
Fun memories of Concordia, Kansas—the last time we saw him that Saturday night.
Loving friends and relatives all know, he’s in a better place,
Free of pain up in heaven—saving us spaces and maybe even watching a race!
