We were have a spaghetti meal on the deck at Ma Twiss house when Bob inform me that he had lost his contact lends in my spaghetti and i had eaten it. he really had me going with his dry humor . Bob and Bunny had some of the best Christmas parties at the old house in North Andover those were great times. I think it was the Casey who got me my first pair of suspenders .I had a few beers in me and were stretching the belts and letting them go. Everyone thought it was funny and so did I till the next day bruises on both sides. Bob you will be missed. I had a lot of fun working with the gang at the dairy they were some of the best times in my life.
