February 29 – Obituary: Robert Edward “Bob” Garber

Bob’s parents Beulah and Clarence purchased my grandparents (Marie and Carl Plitts) home around 1976. The Garbers so enjoyed Neeld Estate with their family. Bob posted many outstanding photos that shared memories on Facebook. I enjoyed making comments back and forth with him.
My sincere sympathies.
