My name is Nathan Kelly (13 going on 14) and bob used to be my next door neighbor on East second ave. I have so many memories of him,the time he got me a bike and I called it a Bob bike( I was 3), or the time he mowed our lawn until we moved in, or before they moved out he gave us his leaf blower and weed wacker. But every time I visited his house at his first retirement home, he gave us wooden toys just like when he was my neighbor. But when we visited him at his second retirement home, he always remembered us and told us how much he missed us and wished he still lived next to us. He enjoyed making toys for the inner city students that my mom teached.
