Stephanie sorry to here about your loss. I remember Robert from when I was a kid. Steve and I would always run up to the corner store when we lived at 222 W. Ashly. Knaebels Market I beleive the name was to sell soda pop bottles we would find for 2¢. Needed to get our candy some how. Allot of people did not know dad and Robert built a couple of boats together. One of them we used on float trips with Ambrose, Brenneke and the gang. Our version of The Little Rascals. Also I remembered several times going over to your house when I was in High School to work with dad Robert and Ed to do some repair work. And did I here some stories and I mean woppers..You and your family take care.Dan and Sue Distler
