Uncle Bob I remember when I was about 13 years old. You came to my folks house and painted the ceilings. You just started spraying the glass in the paint to give it the sparkle effect. I was so fascinated by it. My mom SMILED so much. It was family that built that home. I’m forever grateful to be able to say you were my uncle. Miss you. Tell Aunt Bernice I love and miss her.
