I hold so many wonderful memories of all of you from my childhood and I pray that you all know that we are with you during this time. If any of you have email, please drop me a line as I would love to hear from you. I don't get to Cortland that often, but when I was there a few years ago, I did visit with Bob when I went to visit the Phenes family. Love, Patty (Randall) Davis to all of wendells family.. Please except my deepest sympathies for your loss! i spent a great deal of time with Bob and enjoyed his sence of humor very much... even at his worst there was ALWAYS a smile!!!! He will surly be missed! I used to work with Bob back in the early 80s at the Rotary gas station on Port Watson St...a very long time ago! I thought Bob was a very kind man and he never said anything bad about anyone. His heart was always in the right place and I'm sure as result God has a special place reserved in heaven just for Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and his family. Rest in peace my friend! Charles Race
