Cousin Bob, the Builder

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body--but rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly shouting...

"W0W! What a ride! Thank you Lord!!!!"

This was on the program for the celebration of Cousin's Bob's life on Saturday.

He was:

a Christian, foremost

a perfectionist

a contractor

a builder

an outdoorsman

a hunter

a fisherman

a boater

a hiker

a water skier

a traveler

a prayer warrior

a Bible student

a mentor

a beloved husband

a wonderful father

a doting grandpa

a friend

a man who did not know a stranger

He was loved.

On Monday, September 8, at age 79, his life, as we knew it, ended.

...but don't you just love the top paragraph which was on the inside of his program??

That was Bob. He
lived every minute of every day to the fullest!
