A few weeks ago a beloved Realtor in our area passed away....
I wrote a blog on my special relationship with Bob...
Bob was a huge mentor to me in the days that we sold Real Estate....
We went on many 2 man jobs!
Even when he was in the assisted living center in Nampa Idaho
I would pick him up and we would go to visit my listings to put out flyers or signs ....you name it.
Both of my grand fathers have been gone for a long time....
In some ways Bob was a surragate Grandfather to me...
He recited Cowboy poetry for many years.
I talked him into letting us record him....took me nearly 3 years to talk him into it!
We recorded and videoed it and then ran into technical difficulties in editing the video....
Finally we have it done!
I am not sure how to attach the video to this blog....haven't learned that yet! LOL
But here is the link (password is bob)
Today was a small memorial to honor Bob....
I was able to present to the family DVD's of this recording ....they had it playing in the background.
It was a beautiful day....we met at the cemetery....just a few of us...he didn't want anything at all
It was informal..I was able to share with the family some special memories of our times together ....
We had a lot of laughs....and some tears..
I met his middle son Rich whom I hadn't met yet as well as his ex-wife....whose maiden name is the same as my marriend name.
What a blessing to share a different side of Bob with the family.......I am so happy that we got the recording of Bob reciting cowboy poetry when we did. I know that the family will get a lot of mileage out of the DVD's in the future when they are missing their Dad/Grandpa!!!
I will also be making copies of the Raw Video we have for the family....in this Bob talked about his family history of their early days In Idaho....their trucking and later their Bus Company.....it is all fascinating to me!!
