Karen,

Thanks for your response to
dad’s obituary! As dad was a life-long resident of Lincoln it has been so heart warming for my mom and us “kids” to hear from the people who knew both he and my mom. I have shared your comment with my mom as she does not have access to a computer. Maybe she’ll reach out to you in the coming days. Best, Heidi

Thank you Laura! Dad loved doing business in Lincoln!

Eric and Joan,

Thank you for sharing this memory of my dad! He did love that farm and you were a friend to Bob as much as a friend to me. My dad got such a kick out of all of you guys – even if he did have to pull you out of a ditch once in awhile!

My dad was a link to so many Lincoln families too. He knew everyone and in fact knew Joan’s dad from UNL! His big ideas and interests always kept life interesting! Joan, if my dad hadn’t bought me that onery Good/for-nothing horse “Keiko“ at an auction, we’d never have become such good friends.

FYI Eric, you got a laugh out of dad Just a few days before he passed when I told him you wanted to borrow some money again!

Such good laughter we all enjoyed dad was around!

Love,

Heidi (Rosalie and J)

We’re so very sorry for your loss. None of us is really ever old enough to lose
a loved one. We know Bob is immensely missed.

Bob was a very fortunate man having a great family like yours; Rosalie, Heidi, J &
the grand children are his legacy in which you’ve all made him very proud.

Bob told me over 45 years ago it was always all right to hunt on his farm properties if we followed the rules and we did. However, I believe one time he forgot and he came racing up in the big Orange Dump Truck. It was pretty darn funny because he had fire in his eyes going after a Trespassing Hunter on his beloved property.
He saw it was I and it all passed in 15 seconds. He said, “No Kidding” I told you could hunt here anytime. He also mentioned not to shoot any livestock or our selves.

My favorite memory was to always ask Bob if I could borrow money from him. I did it over the years and we both always laughed. It was our private joke.

We know Bob’s spirit has gone to the acreage in the sky, God Bless.

Best wishes with our love.

Barb, you welcomed us to the Woodlands and I recall that my dad made his decision to move there due to the gourmet lunch and vanilla cappuccino we had there in the dining room with you! You assured us that dad could have a standard portion and seconds – no skimpy senior meal for dad!

Thank you for sharing your memory with us!

Heidi, J, and Rosalie
