In Loving Memory of Bob Radcliffe

Bob and Layla after a dance recital at Cold Stone

I first met Bob in 1997 when Heather and I became friends. He and Irene(his wife at that time) opened their home and their hearts to me. There were many fond memories shared at the Condo at St. Augustine. Throughout the years our families have grown closer. When Kira was born I was there and so was Bob(he was in the O.R. when Kira was born).

And we always shared fun family gatherings..Kira's baptism, birthdays, graduation, etc. We also shared sorrows..when Irene died and then when we lost Heather and Kira. After that Bob and our family became even closer and shared a special connection. We worked together to make the Gazebo a reality and thank God he was alive to be able to see the dedication and outpouring from the community!

He will be missed but I believe he is with his girls now and what a joyous reunion that must be. Though we will not see each other here again on this earth I look forward to the day we will all be reunited and I thank him for the memories and friendship.

So, rest in peace: Bob/Papa Bob.
