Coming Soon: The End of an Era



War Hero, Father extraordinaire, and Nice Guy, Bob Wisotzke goes to his final resting place

Well, we unfortunately ended the year with yet another parental funeral (our 8th of the year). This time it was old friend Bob Wisotzke. Bob had an incredible life, he was, like many of his generation, an accomplished WWII vet, and kept active with his military comrades throughout his entire life.

When we came back following the war, he married the lovely Rita Contestable, and proceeded to spawn not 1, not 2, not 3, but EIGHT kids! And, in a move that will guarantee him a place in heaven, 7 of them were girls. Still, through this multi-decade estrogen-fest, Bob retained his sense of humor, his dedication to country, and most of all his leadership and love for his family. They're an incredible bunch, and I consider myself fortunate to have known the lot of them for several decades now. We need more guys like Bob; dedicated to family and country.
