Condolences

I have had the pleasure of knowing Alice for almost sixty years. She was married to my cousin Jackie, who I thought hung the moon and stars. She was a big part of my life from about the age of 14 to the present. From watching Gordie Howe break Rocket Richards' scoring record in our secret $2 standing room only place at Olympia, playing hockey together at Candy Cane Park, playing spin hockey in Jackie's league, APPA baseball, playing poker with Uncle Slick and Aunt Kattie, to recently bowling together for about 10 years, these memories will be with me forever. Our bowling usually stunk up the place but we had fun. Alice had a great impact on my life. She was literally my first love as a boy. I loved Alice and wanted an Alice someday when I grew up. I know she had much to do with my first wife being Asian. I know that Kimberly and my grandchildren would not be here if it were not for Alice. I am so blessed to have had her in my life. I wish I would have told her all this, but I think she knew. I love you Alice. Bobby Bobby
