Norm Hirschey wrote a sympathy message

“Jean and family, My memory of Bob and your family goes back to my youth in the 1960's. At my Mother Bernice Hirschey's wake in 2016, we conversed some and I shared that we had scanned my Grandma Rose Hirschey's diaries. I sent him an electronic file and he followed with a wonderful thank you and remembrance of his Grandma Eliza and Rose. Families close when he was growing up and he cherished that years later. May you find God's comfort at this time of loss. Norm and Vikki Hirschey”
