Remembrances

Dear Studer Family,

I was very sad to hear about Uncle Bobby passing away. I have fond memories of him when I was child. I remember him as a mountain of a man, larger then

life, always with a gleam in his eye and a very warm heart.

My favorite memory is when he gave me some rattle snake eggs in an envelope...I was about 10. When I opened the envelope I jumped a mile!

Believe me when I returned to Minnesota and showed all my friends my rattle snake eggs...ha, I thought of my Uncle Bobby.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Love your cousin,

Mary Ann Dobesh (Crow)

Edina, Mn.
