I will forever cherish the many memories I shared with my grandfather. Every single time I saw him, from my toddler years to adulthood, my grandpa left me with a smile on my face. There will never be a day that passes by that I won’t think of him or my Grandma Lois. This year has been rough on all of us…but I know that someday, we will all be together again; sitting by the campfire, sharing our fond memories of the past. I love you both so much.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Gloria Jobs
Grandpa,
I wish I could tell you that there isn’t a day that passes that I do not think of you. In fact, my little boy reminds me so much of you that I actually call him Bob Baker. I miss you and Grandma Lois so much and I am so sorry that I was not there for you as much as I should have been. I love you both so much.
