Oh, Uncle Bob, what a kind man!! I remember as a really small child, riding on the tractor to collect the sap for maple syrup. We went back to a place – I don't remember where it was – to boil the sap and turn it to syrup. I remember that whole corner of the 2 roads where Aunt Wilma's house was and Uncle Bob's and Gramma and Grampa's house. Such a great childhood memory, I am sad to see he passed. Much love, Lisa Wolf Chick (Judy's daughter) Hi, Gail & Bobby!! ??
I remember Uncle Bob among the maple trees of Ohio. It's fitting that I should plant a tree for him.
