I remember Mr. Arkabauer working at the high school when I was there. He was kind. And I remember that my dad, Harry Stump, spoke very highly of him. Seems that they were roommates "back in the day." I am sorry for the family's loss.
Sending condolences from Tom Lewis
We went to Menards this morning to grab a few things..... I didn't realize how many things remind me of Uncle bob. There I was checking out and ran across some Riesen chocolates that he always had on hand in the car, in the candy drawer, or in the freezer(just like his Charleston chews). It's been the little things like that that catch me so off guard and give me the stark reminder you're not earth-side with us anymore. I know we will see each other again.
Uncle Bob was an uncle to all us kids growing up, he was a really special guy.
My favorite memories of him were learning to drive stick in that old “osha purple” Mazda with the stacks. He loved that purple color…and putting flames on everything. And I can’t forget Fishing on Moon lake rd, even though we never caught anything. He always kept my favorite Carmel Apple suckers in the candy drawer and to this day I have never met anyone else who liked O Doules. He’s also the only person in the world who could actually cook liver and onions properly, and the last time I ate it was with Uncle Bob over a decade ago. I have so many more memories, but these are my favorites.
Sending lots of hugs and prayers to the family, specially aunt Lis. Uncle Bob was a great man, and definitely gone too soon.
