Billie Plummer wrote a sympathy message

“My name is Billie Plummer, I am Bob's sister. There was 4 of us kids, Bob being the oldest and I am the youngest. Losing Bob has left a hole in my life as it did when Pat and Jim passed. I talked with Bob when our brother and sister passed. He felt the loss of both greatly also and I could feel the love he had felt for our family circle. Florence who was an angel and Mark was always the best wife and son he could ever have had and Bob knew that! love to all”
