A Good Neighbor

We lived next door to Bob and Dolores in Murray for about 6 years.  My children have fond memories of Bob.  First of all, he would always joke with them that he was 102 years old.  I'm pretty sure my kids believed him.   Bob always had an Otter Pop to hand out to them whenever they went over to the house.

For someone who was 102 he sure was amazing.  Bob was always so industrious.  He could find scraps of materials from who knows where and build things out of it.  He was always helping out his kids and other people that needed help. 
Bob was a good man and a wonderful neighbor.

With love,

We Loved Him So

When it comes to neighbors Bob and Dee were the best!!!  We were lucky enough to live right across the street.  When our house was being built we learned right away that we had a "go to" person when we needed help.  A willing lender of tools and advice!  I will be so ever grateful for the day that he came and saved me ~  We were starting to hang the interior doors and this first one  just wasn't going in straight or plum or level and after wrestling it all morning i knew it was time to walk across the street. I knew he would know the secret i was missing.   So i walked over...   he stopped what he was building and came to help. With in a few minutes he had the door hung and went on to help hang the rest.  It was such an easy thing for him but for us it was an absolute sanity saver!  I am sure that we put his schedule off tremendously but never once felt like we had impositioned his schedule.  After the houses were built and all was settled we felt very lucky to be surrounded by such warm and caring people. Always a cheerful hello and teasing of one sort or another.    Our lives took us down a different path away from that little neighborhood but we continue to compare neighbors near and far to the example set by the Rich family!  So glad we had the neighborhood party~  Thanks for hosting!    We love you!   The Egans!
