    Bob and Maxine were a wonderful uncle and aunt when I was growing up and visiting relatives in Mitchell. I really enjoyed his Cadillacs, his humor and his love for his family.

    For Terry Naftzger So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I have been really lax reading the Bedford obituaries with all the holidays, but wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are in Lake Wales, FL for the winter months. We have many fond and funny memories of our friendship with you. Just last week I told a friend here who - like you - loves to bake bread. Told her if the recipe calls for yeast I don't do it. But, I used to have a friend - Terry - who loved to make bread. The two times I tried it (your recipe) you could have used those loaves as hockey pucks. And I used to tell Brent if he wanted homemade bread he had to wait until there was an IU basketball game on and he needed to ask you to bake some for him. Again, we are so sorry for your loss. Love, Brent and Carla
