So sorry for your loss. Bobbie was my cousin, and I remember good times as a child with his family. My greatest sympathies to you.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I have many fond childhood memories of Bob and all the cousins at family gatherings. I am struck by the resemblance to my father in the picture. We also have a grandson who is named Jack Brandon Traut. Anne & Tom Traut

Solong, Bob
