Uncle Bob

Sarah remembers Bob as always smiling and that he looked like his father. Bob told Sarah the reason grandma Echer (Lenna Beth) was short was because he patted her on the head and said "good little girl".  Bob and Dee cared for grandma Rich in their home and she remembers that.  

Alden remembers taking Bob through the veil at Manti when Lenna Beth and Johnny were sealed.  Bob was always supportive of family functions. He would visit Price often.  

Sherstin remembers him coming to weddings and Rich reunions.  

Jessica said he was always playing jokes and teasing.  She loved it.  

John remembers borrowing the tile saw.  He always would call John Alden "old man” when he saw him.  Bob was a good brother to grandma Echer.  I remember all of the same things and I loved Uncle Bob.  ---Peggy Echer  and her family (niece)

 It is difficult to think of one special memory of Uncle Bob, there are too many.  On of his greatest gifts that he so willingly shared with all of us was his sense of humor and happy countenance.  I tried to think of any time when I ever saw him angry....couldn't.  He had his share of trials in his mortal life, but handled them without anger, blame or pity.  I observed him make sacrifices and work hard for his family.  He and Aunt Dee were always present at extended family important events.  When Mom was sick, they made many trips to Price to visit, always making her day brighter.  Whenever we parted after a visit he would say "I'm sure glad you got to see me".  Yes Uncle Bob I am sure glad I got to see you.  I am grateful for your example of gratitude; no matter what.  I will miss you and your unique way you could make everyone smile.
Love,
