I miss you Rob--every day.

We miss your humor and your hard work at our business for 33 years.  

I think of him as a class clown.  I now wonder what troubles in his soul were hidden by humor.  I miss him so much.  

Geoffrey was more or less my first friend, besides my brother Rob.  There are pictures of the 3 of us being given a bath together when we were about 2 years old.  We did some crazy things as kids.  We threw water balloons at passing cars on Gould Avenue where we both lived.  We threw mud pies over the fence behind our yards into neighbors' yards in hopes of hitting kids that we could hear.  I am sure that was Rob and Geoffrey's idea. I remember that he became more cynical after his mom took her life when we were 13?  I forget what age.  Regardless, tragic for any kid. 

He visited our business in St. Mary, Montana a couple of times, but beyond that, I rarely saw him.  Rob kept in touch with him better than I did.

I didn't keep in touch with him as well as I should have, but we caught up more after Rob died.  Geoffrey had kidney issues and had to get on dialysis.  He died of a heart attack related to having to have dialysis.  I was greatly saddened.  I will miss him always.  

I knew Rex in elementary school and onward.  I found that he had a fun sense of humor.  In 2nd grade we played husband and wife and Sharon Davis was our child.  I was impressed at his academic brain.  I was impressed with his ability to think more deeply than many of us and to articulate his thoughts well.  Knowing him through all of my school years, I can still see his smile and remember that he enjoyed laughing and life.  I am sad that he was gone too early.  

Wow Nancy, Thanks for posting the obit of Rob.  I didn't even think of doing that.  Our family misses him very much.  Life has taken a very sad turn.  I feel quite alone having lost my twin, but we carry on.
