Dear Hampe Family: I have such fond memories of your Dad when we lived on Lincoln Avenue. He was great neighbor and always a lot of fun to be around. He was very proud of you all. May he rest in peace.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bob. My condolences to the family. I have so many memories of Ruth and Bob. My mom was Lenore Senn Gentry. My mom and Ruth and Bob were great friends, and now they have been reunited in heaven. Sending love and prayers to the family.
