We are so saddened by the loss of Bob. Bob and Jean have always created such a welcoming space for family reunions and have been the center of many Putnam reunions. This leaves a large hole in my heart. I will cherish knowing he has left his mark on so many children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren.

We have many fond memories of The Putnam Reunions at your home. You have always been a welcoming host! Most recently we enjoyed the dinners at The Red Brick Tavern with you & Jeanie. You will truly be missed!
Fondly, Janet & Warren Hull
