Fair winds and following seas sailor. “Boatswain… Standby to pipe the side… Shipmate’s going Ashore…” Thank you Robert for your service to this nation. U.S. Navy, at the end of WWII.
Bob was my first boss when I started working at Vulcan Chemicals 40 years ago. He was a kind, wise, Christian gentleman. Sincere condolences to his family.
Jo Anna, you have my sympathy for the passing of your dad. I do remember your dad from working at Vulcan. I also remember your mother, and spending the night. It was fun listening to the Monkey record and writing a letter to them! Lol. I hope you and your family are well and have good memories. Sheryl(Owens) Seward
Thank you Sheryl! My dad remembered your family and, of course, your mom and her home going!!! We will see them again!!!
