This guy had too much of an impact on us to ever be really gone

Robert West passed away on April 28th 2007. He was 87 years young and lived an amazing life. We miss him and are commemorating his life on Wednesday May 5th, and yet it would be difficult for any of us to forget Bob. Bob made life better for all of us in his nuclear-ish family - his wife Dorothy, his children Timothy West and Bobbie West, Tim's wife Valerie, and his grandchildren: Caroline Yezer, Amy, Anne Marie and Robbie West. Bob will also be remembered by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and probably a whole bunch more folks I am forgetting to list right here. Many of these folks live in South Bend, Indiana - from where Bob got much of his anecdotal material about living "on the farm". He came from a big Irish Catholic family, many of whom still live in the Chicago/Indiana region. Bob is very close to the heart of the most recent addition to his home: his adopted family member, Honey, a Jack Russell terrier who devoted herself to keeping Bob's charitable snackie handouts flowing.
