Bob was only 1 month away from being 97, so I say he WAS 97. I will miss my 'papa' and look forward to seeing him when he is young, strong, perfect and alongside Peggy, his wife, who he loved dearly. We have a date to walk along the beach in Fort Bragg, CA, in the new world. Something we talked about regularly. Until then, may he sleep peacefully until he hears Jesus' voice calling him.
