Bobby, David and Steve,
We are so sorry to hear about your dad. We knew he was having problems, but didn’t realize the extent of the difficulty.
One of his legacies will be the guy who could carry the most cases of F&S beer in his trunk at one time. Wasn’t it something like 16 or more cases?!!?
See you on Wednesday,
Michael and Virginia

Shook Family,
So sorry for your loss. Your father used to drive limo for All World Travel on College HIll. Your dad was a super nice man! It was a pleasure to know him! I remember calling him last minute to pick up a stranded client at the airport and Bob would be available. He always had funny stories to tell. He always spoke about his family. My thoughts are with you.

Dearest Bob, David and Stevie and families –
I was very sorry to get the news from Kathy via telephone the other day. I have such good and vivid memories of your dad and all those family picnics of yesteryear. He was ever on my Christmas card list. I can just imagine the kind of partying that is going on with the “cosmic all stars”!
Our deepest sympathies.
Nancy and David
