Dear Barb and family, It is will love and tears that I read this news today. My dad, Fred Burkert began his friendship with Bob in the Hewlett Packard years and became more like family. When daddy started to build our dream cottage, Bob was there to hoist the frame. When dad went to work, he and Bob shared an active work ethic and laughs together. When I worked in the summers at HP, Bob was so kind to me. The early passing of my dad was hard, but Bob gave me a gift when I took my kids berry picking. He told me that my dad had given him money to help start the farm. For many years, the highlight of our summer was to go berry picking at Telderberry farms and I would proudly tell our 4 children of the close connection with your family and Bob. I miss my dad every day and know this will be your path, made more difficult without being able to be together. Please know how much Bob meant to me and my family. Prayers for comfort and peace. Kerstin ( Burkert) Boyce
