Bob and Bertie adopted us upon moving to Colorado Springs in 1991. They befriended us, shared their love of square dancing with us and treated us like family. We will always be grateful for their kindness and generosity. Bob will be missed by us and countless others in our community. Bertie and her family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
